Control of district council decided by lottery
Control of a 17-seat district council in Kompong Cham province was determined by a Buddhist monk pulling a name out of a box Wednesday after election results revealed an equal number of votes for both parties. The CPP and CNRP each came away with 36 votes after commune councilors voted in Choeung Prey district on Sunday in the elections for the district and provincial councils. Following election laws, both parties were subsequently awarded eight seats, according to Mang Meng Huon, director of the provincial election committee, and the 17th seat was then awarded based on a “lottery.”
