Phnom Penh (FN), July 6 – National Assembly (N.A) adopted the amendment of the Law on Political Parties and will approve next Monday.

The decision was made following the meeting of the Standing Committee’s meeting this morning according to N.A’s spokesman Leng Peng Long.

However, CNRP’s spokesman Yem Ponharith announced that Cambodia National Rescue Party’s lawmakers will not attend a plenary session to approve the proposed amendment to the law on political parties.

The amendment would prevent convicts from actively participating in politics, proposed by PM Hun Sen last Wednesday during the 66th anniversary celebration of the inception of the Cambodian People’s Party.
