FUNCINPEC Secretary General Nhek Bun Chhay denied on Sunday reports of a change in leadership and mass defections in the party, calling them unfounded rumours spread by former loyalists who had joined the ruling Cambodian People's Party for personal gain.
"There is no movement to replace the current party president, Keo Puth Rasmey," he told the Post, saying that only Keo Kosal and his son had defected to the CPP - and not twenty Funcinpec officials, as reported by Khmer-language media. A former Funcinpec resistance commander and long-time critic of Prime Minister Hun Sen, Serey Kosal last week announced his defection to the ruling party.
"I am not interested in the words of unprofessional politicians who left the party in order to get a position in the government," said Nhek Bun Chhay, who is also a deputy prime minister.
