Sam Rainsy warned of internal crisis ahead of senate election

PHNOM PENH (Cambodia Herald) -  Exiled opposition leader Sam Rainsy has told party members via video conference that people in France have warned that the party will face an internal crisis if its electoral support declines and that increased support raise concerns for the ruling Cambodian People's Party, senior party officials said Friday.

The officials said Sam Rainsy made the statement in a video conference call from France to party headquarters on Wednesday. During the conference, Sam Rainsy urged members to avoid being bought by other parties, the officials said.

Sam Rainsy is now in France to escape from being jailed as he was sentenced by the Cambodian courts to two years in prison after he uprooted boundary marker 185 in Svay Rieng province.
