Talk:Norodom Ranariddh

Party size
The line about the NRP being the 3rd largest party is a little premature - as the People's Daily citation says - election results are preliminary at this stage and they were not national elections but commune (local government) elections. We will have to wait until next year for the result of the national election to see who will be number 3. Paxse 16:09, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Pre-emptive clarification on Ranariddh's end date as First PM
Although military clashes occured between 5-6 July 1997 and some news articles listed him as "ousted" in the first few days after the clashes, such as this article, it is not right to list Ung Huot as having succeeded Ranariddh as First PM right away. Neither 16 July 1997 is a right date when FUNCINPEC agreed to nominate him as PM. The date of replacement should be marked on the day when there is some form of official ceremony, or signing of decree by an authorised person. In this case, the date of the assembly sitting is considered to be the date when Ranariddh was officially replaced.

There is one interesting piece of evidence, which still addresses Ung Huot as the "Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation" on 29 July 1997. Mr Tan (talk) 05:25, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
