CNRP set to ‘reshuffle lawmakers’: officials [This is a recipe for disaster and it's not fair to Real Camerin because he is one of the most active MPs]

The opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party is about to undergo a significant reshuffle of elected members, according to party sources.
But a CNRP lawmaker said talk of a reshuffle was little more than a rumour.
According to a senior party official, who asked not to be named, several elected lawmakers will change jobs, leaving their constituents without the representatives who campaigned for their votes.
The move has caused friction in the party with several CNRP members unhappy with the decision, the source said.
Takeo province MP Pol Ham would move to a seat in Kampong Thom; Banteay Meanchey lawmaker Long Ry would switch to Kampong Cham province; while Ky Vannara will move from his seat in Kampong Chhnang to take Ry’s place. CNRP public affairs chief Mu Sochua would move from Battambang to fill Vannara’s vacated seat.
In Siem Reap province, Keo Sovannarath will move to Kampong Speu province, while Chulong Somura will leave her Phnom Penh constituency for Ham’s current position in Takeo. Real Camerin, who headed the party in Svay Rieng province, will be replaced by Ou Chanrith and no longer hold a seat in parliament.

Ham confirmed that a reshuffle would take place, adding that as it was not yet official policy, he could not comment on the specific changes planned.
But Sochua said the media coverage was based on “rumours” and that no decision had been made yet.
Real Camerin said that while he had not received official notification, he had “only been told by the party leader”.
Sok Touch, an independent political analyst, criticised the proposed changes. The reshuffle “is not based on a democratic path, because the changes were not voted on, they will be appointments”, he said.

It is a rumor , but if this is true it is a catastrophic event of the opposition party . These leader head don't have a solution or a gut to enforce or a gut to stand in front of the big and strong storm that bearer the brunch of devastating force of relevancy accusation from the insider treason . If you are the real patriotic leaders, it is time to resolve the problem one for all, and show your cleanness intention to all Khmer supporters for a good reason . please Khmer legacy did not stand for light temper leadership like this .
