2007 saw the consequence of a serious division of the FUNCINPEC party, which led to its separation into two factions (the FUNCINPEC Party and the Norodom Ranaridh Party). The ex-party chief was sentenced to 18 months in prison and ordered to pay a fine to the court. This had been preventing the prince from returning back to the country until recently. The separation has led to a serious decrease in the party’s popularity, which was observed during the last commune election (see key events).
