When Ranariddh expressed support for Savoeun in May 2002, Hockry resigned. In March 2002, the Deputy Commander-in-main of the RCAF - Khan Savoeun, accused You Hockry, the co-Minister of the Interior, of corruption and nepotism, acts which Savoeun claimed experienced alienated voters. After his appointment, Ranariddh worked with Hun Sen to re-combine the FUNCINPEC-aligned troops into the RCAF.
