Hun Sen: No post-election crisis
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said Tuesday that the political problems in his country following July’s general election that the opposition says was rigged are not serious. “A solution to our problem here is only a matter of time. It’s an old problem, not a new one,” Hun Sen told Kyodo News, referring to similar problems experienced after each election since 1998. Commenting on the parliamentary session boycott by the 55 elected parliamentarians from the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party, he said, “When the time is ripe they will come.” … To date, the CNRP has organised several mass rallies in Phnom Penh, denouncing the election results and demanding a probe into election irregularities. Hun Sen said the current political problems can be easily solved once the opposition’s demands are reasonable, stressing that requests such as an equal number of parliamentary commission heads was out of the question. … The premier said he believes the cause for their continued boycott is due to the CNRP’s internal problems including power sharing. …
