CPP to Trump CNRP
“បច្ចុប្បន្ននេះ គិតចាប់ ពីឆ្នាំ២០១៤ គឺ ជាឱកាស ចុងក្រោយ សម្រាប់ ឲ្យខ្មែរ រួបរួមគ្នា ជាធ្លុងមួយ កុំឲ្យ បរទេស បានលេស ឬបានឱកាស លេបត្របាក់ ទឹកដីយើង តទៅទៀត, ហើយ នៅទីបញ្ចប់ គេ នឹងសម្លាប់ ជាតិយើង តែម្តង។ ដូច្នេះ ខ្មែរ ត្រូវ រួបរួមគ្នា ដើម្បី ការពារ ប្រទេសជាតិយើង ឲ្យនៅគង់វង្ស។”

It seems with
what the CNRP calls the last chance for national unity, the party is playing a coin
tossing game under CPP rules that “Head, CPP wins; Tail, CNRP loses”.
In his RFA interview,
Prum Sokha insists on at least two conditions for a reformed NEC: a single Khmer citizenship for those occupying
top positions, and retention of the current voters register.
Prum Sokha argues
the single citizenship requirement makes Cambodia the same as some 60 countries
in the world. It is uncertain why he quotes the number of the countries; if he
implies this is large and Cambodia should follow suit, then he forgets that
there are 196 nations on earth. And 60 of them hardly make a majority – not
that Cambodia has to necessarily follow what other country does.
Prum
Sokha says the CPP accepted the dual citizenship for the UNTAC 1993 elections
due to its consideration for national unity at the time. This is no longer the
case. Thus, while the national unity honeymoon is over for the CPP, the CNRP
has just caught on.
Nevertheless,
Prum Sokha claims – but does not explain how – the single citizenship would
make the new NEC independent. He forgets the current NEC top executives are
holders of a single citizenship, and their conducts have been a core problem
for protracted election disputes. If Prum Sokha contends the NEC has been
impartial all along, why then the CPP agrees to the reform? Perhaps the
agreement is signed in bad faith.
Furthermore,
if a single citizenship guaranteed independence, then many of the Khmer leaders
would have more than one. They have a long track record of inviting neighbouring
aliens to come secure power for themselves. Single citizenship Hun Sen is the
latest of such leaders who bring national independence into doubt.
The
other spanner that the CPP throws into the works is the voters register. Prum
Sokha is adamant that whether NEC is reformed or not, the current voters register
will stay.
He
sounds sensible when claiming the register that has missed 1.2 million voters
needs revising and improving. This claim means little, however, when he argues
that had the missing voters turned up to vote, the outcomes would have been the
same. He is so confident about the outcomes as if they are pre-determined.
He
says a system that produces a trustworthy register would take from 5 to 10
years. That explains why the current NEC keeps on carrying out an annual register
updating, costing a cool $2 million, ignoring calls to stop and let the new NEC
oversee a fresh one.
Hence,
unless Prum Sokha is lying, the CNRP’s national unity brings the party to two clear
choices: either accepting a new NEC with a single citizenship condition and the
existing voters register that comes with pre-determined outcomes, or letting
the current NEC continue with the existing register with pre-determined
outcomes.
Other
choices would require further concessions from CNRP. But does it have any more
concessions CPP needs or wants?
