Hanoi (VNA) – The National Assembly ofCambodia elected You Hockry, a parliamentarian of FUNCIPEC party, as its firstVice President with 112 ayes, two noes and two blank votes on December 8,according to NA President Heng Samrin.

Five from the party were also selected to be Chairpersonsof five NA Committees, while five others from the ruling Cambodian People’sParty (CPP) will take the positions of the rest five NA Committees.

Cambodia’s Supreme Court on November 16 ordered thedissolution of the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) and banned 118 seniorofficials of the party from politics for five years because the party wasaccused of having conspired with foreigners to topple the Government.

Accordingly, the CNRP’s seats at the parliament and People’sCouncils at all levels were abolished.

Last week, thecountry’s National Election Committee relocated the 55 seats of the dissolvedCNRP to the CPP, FUNCINPEC, the Cambodian Nationality Party and the KhmerEconomic Development Party.-VNA
