Earlier, the proposal to amend the Law on Political Parties by 60 parliamentarians of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party was submitted to the NA on February 10.
On February 11, President of the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) Sam Rainsy announced his resignation. A day later, the CNRP approved the resignation and allowed Vice President Kem Sokha to serve as acting President until a new leader is elected.
Rainsy has been living in self-imposed exile in France since November 2015 to avoid a two-year prison sentence in a defamation case brought by Deputy Prime Minister Hor Namhong.
He is also facing a number of defamation and disinformation court cases in Phnom Penh.
