Phnom Penh (FN), October 25 - Prime Minister Hun Sen, president of the Cambodian People's Party (CPP), reaffirmed that the CPP continues to welcome Cambodia National Rescue Party members even if CNRP is dissolved under the charge of "committing treason”.

“If you want to be a commune chief, or want to stay in the same position, you can join CPP,” he said on Wednesday morning when meeting with more than 10,000 garment workers.

According to the amendments on election laws, once CNRP dissolved, CNRP’s 55 seats will be redistributed to the other political parties.

"I just give you a chance and open the door for you, because some of you have spent a lot of money to be the commune Chiefs. CPP members, who are part of the party, do not be offended or dissappointed by this because CNRP members have changed their lives to live with us,” he added.

The 4th Mandate of Commune Council Elections was held on June 2017; CNRP won a total of 5,007 commune council seats.
