Phnom Penh (VNA) – General Secretary of the FUNCINPEC party Nhiek Bun Chhay said he hoped his party would retain 26 seats in the next National Assembly of Cambodia in order to maintain the ruling coalition with the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP).

Cambodia is scheduled to hold general election on July 27, in which the CPP sets for about 80 seats. Recently, some senior FUNCINPEC officials have left the royalist party to join the CPP.

However, at an extraordinary gathering this week, the CPP confirmed to continue its alliance with the FUNCINPEC, calling the royalist party a trustworthy partner.
