CPP lawmaker visits migrants in Thailand

A Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) lawmaker has said that the Kingdom’s migrant workers in Thailand have vowed to return home to vote in the July 29 national elections. But a former deputy president of the court-dissolved Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) expressed doubts that this would come to pass.

Chheang Vun, a CPP lawmaker, spent three days, from June 29 to July 1, in Thailand meeting with Cambodian migrant workers. He claimed the majority of them have vowed to return home to vote on July 29 – and for the CPP. They welcomed me “and are ready to join the election to vote for the CPP on July 29,” he wrote in a Facebook post.

“They said they love the CPP and would return to vote on July 29 for the party in order to contribute to the protection of peace,” the post reads. Speaking to The Post on Tuesday, Vun said he met with more than 1,700 Cambodian migrant workers at four locations in Rayong province.
