The Cambodian National Rescue Party (CNRP) has requested the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) to make a concession to clarify that both parties won the elections so as to find solution toward resolving a deadlock over the disputed elections. Yet, a high-ranking officer of CPP responded that the election affairs doesn’t need any concession since we must take the law as the basis. “We are making a concession and we are also requesting CPP to make a concession to announce that both parties won the elections. This shows the positive sign in order to find solution toward resolving a deadlock. The victory of both parties means that we have a joint responsibility, trust each other and work together so that the country has a balance of power. In addition, we are no longer the opposition party, yet we are the one winning party among the two winning parties”, said Mr. Sam Rainsy during a conference on 20 September 2013.
