A LEADING opposition leader has called on democratic political parties of all stripes to join forces in 2010 in a fresh bid to challenge the entrenched majority of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party at the 2013 national election.

In a speech Friday, Kem Sokha, president of the Human Rights Party, said that opposition demands for democratic reforms had not been heeded over the previous year and that unity was the only way forward for the country’s spectrum of small opposition parties.

“The HRP sees that all parties and politicians who are democrats and nationalists must merge in order to successfully reform themselves, help people and lead our nation,” Kem Sokha said.

“Otherwise, we democrats and nationalists will just accompany the ruling party in their continued political domination.”
