US renews concern about Cambodia polls

The United States reiterated its concern Monday over the outcome of Cambodia’s parliamentary polls after the country’s elections committee handed victory to the ruling party. “We do still believe that a transparent review of irregularities in the July elections would help efforts to assess and address flaws in the electoral process and give the Cambodian people greater confidence in their electoral system,” deputy State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said. The US still had some concerns about “irregularities” during the elections which were raised by independent monitors, she added.
