Original report from Washington
04 February 2010
The opposition Sam Rainsy Party has no plans to change its name back to the original Khmer Nation Party, an official said Wednesday, following the legal release of the original in January.
The name of the Khmer Nation Party was tangled up in legal proceedings after the splintering from the opposition of Kong Muny, who claimed the name and spurred the renaming of the Sam Rainsy Party.
Last month, Kong Muny relinquished his rights to the name, which would allow the opposition to revert to its original at a time where both the Sam Rainsy and Human Rights parties are joined in a loose coalition against the ruling Cambodian People’s Party.
