On 23 March, DAP-news reported that during the press conference organized by the HRP to accept Mao Monyvann, Kem Sokha indicated that, following information he received, the SRP has no honest intention to ally with the HRP. The SRP allegedly only has no clear intention and, in reality, it has no intention to unite with the HRP. That was the reason why Mao Monyvann defected to the HRP.
In the evening of Wednesday 23 March, Kem Sokha, president of the Human Rights Party, indicated that the acceptance of former SRP MP Mao Monyvann to this party will not affect the plan to form an alliance between his party and the SRP.

Kem Sokha added that, currently, there are about 20 SRP party members who already joined the HRP. He claimed that the HRP will be the leading opposition party in Cambodia after opposition leader Sam Rainsy was prevented from joining the upcoming 2013 election.
