King signs Article 45 amendment paving way for opposition return

The change to Article 45 of the Law on Political Parties has gone into effect after King Norodom Sihamoni signed off on the amendment on Sunday.

It gives the prime minister the power to request the return of political rights to those banned by the courts before the term is up. The Post received a copy of the amendment to Article 45 on Tuesday.

It states: “The individual who was banned from politics by the court can attain the return of their full political rights after the end of the ban duration as stated in the Supreme Court ruling, or that individual can get rehabilitation from the King through the request of the prime minister following a request from the minister of interior.”
