The Democrats agree to remain with the government
13 Sept 12:14Key points summarised by AI
The Democrat party's executive committee voted to remain in the government coalition, foregoing negotiations for additional cabinet seats despite a recent party withdrawal.
The party stated its decision aims to ensure government continuity in addressing national problems and urged the government to earnestly review its Cambodia policy to protect national interests and restore public confidence.
The decision has sparked potential internal dissent among some deputy leaders, while the committee also expressed concerns about a potential opposition landslide in future elections and suggested replacing the current Prime Minister to ease political tensions.
