Senate election: Role of a third party in a two-way race

 SENATE ELECTION: ROLE OF A THIRD PARTY IN A TWO-WAY RACE

SRP Member of Parliament Kuoy Bunroeun today issued a detailed and
interesting statement showing that in Kampong Cham province Kem
Sokha’s Human Rights Party (HRP) is using money to try to provoke
defections in the ranks of SRP commune councilors in preparation for
the upcoming Senate election in January 2012.

HRP, a party with limited financial means, could afford to entice a
few SRP councilors with money provided by CPP. But by conducting such
activities not only in Kampong Cham province but all over the country,
HRP finally shows its real face: Even though they are not taking part
in that special Senate election because they don't have any elected
commune councilor to vote for them, they are trying very hard to
sabotage the SRP network of 2,660 commune councilors throughout the
country, knowing very well that any councilor vote that the SRP may
lose in that Senate election will only benefit the CPP. This is
obvious given the fact that this is a two-way race between two parties
only: CPP and SRP.

Everybody can now see the truth, at least from a practical and
tactical point of view: HRP is working for CPP.

While all other existing parties recognize and work within – actually
for – the CPP political system, SRP is the only hope for a regime
change in Cambodia.
