Cambodian oppn rejects election result
CAMBODIA’S opposition has rejected the claim of victory by the ruling party of strongman Prime Minister Hun Sen in weekend elections, alleging widespread irregularities.
“The Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) cannot accept the results of the fifth parliamentary election … because the CNRP has found a lot of serious irregularities,” the party said in a statement on Monday.
It called for a committee representing the two main political parties, the National Election Committee, civil organisations and the United Nations to “be urgently established” to investigate complaints. …
The CNRP has decried what it described as the kingdom’s worst ever poll irregularities, including missing voter names and thousands of people who turned up to find someone else had used their ballot. …
The National Election Committee denied irregularities. …
