Prime Minister Hun Sen Denied Rumor about CPP - 2004-07-28

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen denied there was any internal division in the Cambodian People's Party (CPP).

Mr. Hun Sen said it's a rumor the others used to cause confusion. Rumor about the internal division in the CPP started a few weeks ago when CPP president Chea Sim left for Thailand.

It was believed that Chea Sim was forced out of the country when he refused to sign the controversial bill that allowed the election of the prime minister and the president of the national assembly simultaneously, known as the "block vote."
