The Funcinpec party issued a clarification statement on 12 Dec 2010 on the report that Keo Puth Reaksmey, Funcinpec party president, received a letter from Krom Preah regarding the union of the royalist parties, and that he agreed to let Krom Preah become the leader of the new royalist party. In this statement, the Funcinpec spokesman indicated that Keo Puth Reaksmey did not receive any document on the merger with Krom Preah yet as of now. However, Keo Puth Reaksmey used to tell Krom Preah during their unofficial meeting that, if there is any request that is agreeable for the future of the country, he [Keo Puth Reaksmey] will accept it and submit it for discussion by Funcinpec party leaders.
No party name change as requested by Krom Preah
Source from a Funcinpec official indicated on Monday that the Funcinpec party will not change its name to Funcinpec 81 as requested by Krom Preah Norodom Ranariddh. This Funcinpec official indicated that Keo Puth Reaksmey, the current Funcinpec party president, denied that he met with Krom Preah to discuss the party name change. This official indicated also that Funcinpec cannot change its name because this party was formed by Norodom Sihanouk.

Kem Sokha, Human Rights Party president, called on Krom Preah to show his clear position as to whether he stands on the side of the nationalist democrats or on the side of the communists who are lackey of the foreigners. Kem Sokha reacted this way after Krom Preah told Hun Xen that he cannot ally with the Sam Rainsy Party because the latter cannot move forward [KI-Media note: in fact, Soy Sopheap reported that Kem Sokha allegedly claimed that he cannot ally himself with the SRP because he thinks that the SRP cannot move forward.] During a press conference held on Monday morning, Kem Sokha denied the prince’s claim that the prince discussed with him to forge an alliance. Kem Sokha said that the HRP has a unification strategy with the SRP, and it hopes that this alliance could be formed prior to the 2013 election.
