Cambodia's opposition Human Right Party (HRP)'s steering committee has announced its secret negotiations with opposition democrats, nationalists and royalists have not resulted in unification, local newspaper the Mekong Times reported Tuesday.
The HRP leadership has long been discussing a possible unification with the Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) and Norodom Ranariddh Party (NRP), said Keat Sokun, deputy HRP president.
"We have worked secretly with locals and those overseas on unification," he said, adding that HRP officials have met with representatives of the SRP and NRP, but the effort has to date not yielded positive results.
Keat Sokun blamed the SRP for the lack of a coherent political opposition, saying that SRP representatives had claimed their party needed no help.
Still, he said the HRP remains adamant that a unified opposition would be best for Cambodia.
