Politicians from the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party
will take their oaths as parliamentarians in front of King Norodom
Sihamoni at the Royal Palace tomorrow, senior officials have said.
The swearing in will pave the way for the party’s 55 elected
lawmakers to take their seats in the National Assembly in coming days,
bringing an end to their more than 10-month boycott of parliament.
“It’s confirmed tomorrow at 4pm at the palace, but we will meet at
the National Assembly at 3pm,” senior lawmaker and public affairs head
Mu Sochua said.
Government spokesman Phay Siphan, in a Facebook post, said Deputy
Prime Minister Sok An had confirmed the ruling Cambodian People’s Party
had reached full agreement with the CNRP on details of a deal they inked
on July 22 to end the longstanding political deadlock.
He said the opposition would take their seats in parliament on
Thursday, but Sochua and CNRP spokesman Yim Sovann would not confirm
that date.
“It will be a few days after the swearing-in ceremony,” Sovann said.
The CNRP boycotted the opening of parliament last September following
the disputed July national election, which they claimed was rigged by
the ruling party.
