The Society of Justice and Khmer Anti-Poverty parties on
Monday made a public invitation for the country's nine other parties to join them
for the upcoming election.
"I urge you, the small parties and big parties, come
and join us," Kravanh Daran, president of the Khmer Anti-Poverty Party,
said Monday. "I want you to unify. This is the sample of unity of our
country. Please be brave and stand up, go forward to reach our beautiful
destiny. I would like all of you to come together."
Both parties announced they would officially join together to help each other's candidates.
"After the political alliance, we can get more support
from the voters," Ban Sophal, president of the Society of Justice Party,
said. "And from now on, we cannot lose our voters."
Officials of the Sam Rainsy and Human Rights parties said Monday
they were not concerned with such unity, but with their separate political campaigns.
The Society of Justice and Khmer Anti-Poverty
parties are both running on platforms of unity, claiming Monday that
"Cambodia
was once a large and well-known country but now it is small and
un-unified" and calling the country's leaders to "work together"
for Cambodians, "who are awaiting unity."
