Kem Sokha tells audience to lay off CPP

In a stump speech in Siem Reap on Saturday, opposition deputy leader Kem Sokha admonished supporters not to “argue” with the Cambodian People’s Party, while simultaneously taking the opportunity to throw a few jabs at the ruling party himself.

Echoing opposition claims that their party won the popular vote in the contested national elections in 2013, Sokha said that while the CPP may hold power officially speaking, the Cambodia National Rescue Party was the party of the people.

“Enter any restaurant, it’s the National Rescue Party. Enter any hotel, it’s [the CNRP]. Walk by any market, it’s also [the CNRP],” he said. “Now, in the National Assembly, the majority vote is the ruling party. But outside the parliament, the majority vote is National Rescue.”
