Member of the National Assembly
Please join the National Democratic Institute and the International
Republican Institute for a discussion and analysis of recent political
developments, trends in the Cambodian government’s policies, and future
opportunities
for the country’s opposition parties.
Time
Wednesday, June 10 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Location
NDI Board Room
2030 M Street, NW, Fifth Floor
Washington, D.C.
Sam Rainsy and Kem Sokha are leaders of Cambodia’s opposition parties,
the SRP and the HRP, and seek to present an alternative to the current ruling
party, the Cambodian People’s Party. The CPP has dominated Cambodian politics
for decades, recently winning 90 out of 123 seats in the national legislature
in 2008.
The SRP and the HRP formed an alliance called the Democratic Movement of
Change to contest the provincial, district, and municipal elections held in May
2009. The parties hope to strengthen their position in the 2012 national
elections.
The party leaders are in Washington to meet with U.S. legislators and
other members of the policy community to discuss the state of Cambodian
politics, prospects for democratic political reform, and the defense of human
rights. They are joined by Yem Ponhearith, Secretary General of the HRP.
