PGNUNSC Radio.[5]
Despite its stated wish to contest the 1993 elections, the Khmer Rouge soon ran into various disputes with United Nations authorities in Cambodia, culminating in their desire to boycott the elections. Subsequently,
Provisional Government of National Union and National Salvation of Cambodia" was subsequently set up with involvement by CNUP members.[8]
In August 1996, the party suffered a split when Ieng Sary and his followers in North-Western Cambodia broke away and founded the Democratic National Union Movement. In May 1997, Khieu Samphan founded the Khmer National Solidarity Party after defecting from the Khmer Rouge.
