The Grassroots Democracy Party (GDP), on Wednesday, announced their decision to not take any seat at commune level from the opposition party CNRP in case the CNRP would be dissolved.
GDP's decision was taken after Prime Minister Hun Sen, last week, said that he was 99.99 percent sure the CNRP would be dissolved for their attempt to incite a color revolution to topple his government.
In a letter posted on Facebook, the GDP said that being aware of the amendments to the four election laws allowing the confiscation and redistribution of the CNRP's seats at all governmental level, the GDP affirmed that the party would not accept any CNRP's seat at commune level.
"Base on moral and virtue principle, the GDP publicly announces that the party would not accept any CNRP's seat at commune level in case the CNRP would be dissolved," read the letter.
So far, another political party - Khmer Anti-Poverty Party - had also rejected CNRP's seats if the CNRP would be dissolved.
The GDP was founded by Dr. Kem Ley in 2015. The party occupied seventh place in the commune election in June 2017. The GDP would compete with other parties in the upcoming July 2018 general election.
Prime Minister Hun Sen, last week, said that in case the CNRP would be dissolved, CNRP's seats at commune level would be confiscated and redistributed to other parties challenging the commune election, including his ruling party CPP. So, CNRP's commune councilors could surrender to his party that would allow them to continue to hold their function as commune councilor until the end of their term.
The premier added that his plan was not to buy CNRP's commune councilors, it was rather the implementation of his win-win policy.
Prime Minister Hun Sen also said that the dissolution of the CNRP was his goal to not only to fight against local political parties, but also to fight against «their» mastermind whose ambition was to incite a color revolution in order to topple his elected government.
