    • The Khmer National United Party (KNUP; Khmer: គណបក្សខ្មែររួបរួមជាតិ, ខ.រ.ជ, UNGEGN: Kônâbâks Khmêr Ruŏbruŏm Chéatĕ, K.R.C) is a Cambodian political party founded in February 2016 by Nhek Bun Chhay and former members of FUNCINPEC.[3]

    The party is open to legalizing same-sex marriage.[4]

    Attempts at merging back into FUNCINPEC[edit]

    On September 13 and 18, 2019, senior officials of the KNUP and FUNCINPEC began discussion to merge the KNUP back into FUNCINPEC.[5] KNUP spokesman Run Meatra said that senior officials of FUNCINPEC and the KNUP agreed to a merger on December 23, but both never went through with the decision.[6]

    On September 22, 2021, both parties discussed merging ahead of the upcoming commune elections.[7] KNUP president Nhek Bun Chhay announced another merger between the two party after they both negotiated several times and resolved their own internal issues.[7] However, due to a controversy regarding the leadership of a united party, the decision to merge never went ahead.[8]
