Cambodian leader Hun Sen lauded his ruling party's strong showing at local elections at the weekend and predicted Tuesday it would also win big at national polls in 2008.
The Cambodian People's Party received 3.1 million votes out of 5.1 million cast during Sunday's balloting to choose local governing councils, Hun Sen said.
It was "an unprecedentedly overwhelming number of votes from our people. We have broken a record," the prime minister said in a speech at an economic forum.
According to unofficial results tallied by his party workers, the CPP continues to control more than 98 percent of the country's 1,621 communes and urban sub-districts known as sangkats, Hun Sen said.
The National Election Committee is expected to release official results on April 24.
If the local polls are any indication, the CPP should win up to 90 seats in the 123-seat National Assembly, the country's lower house of parliament, in 2008, Hun Sen predicted.
Hun Sen's party has ruled Cambodia for nearly three decades and has strong rural support. Before the first local elections in 2002, communes were ruled by his loyalists appointed by the Interior Ministry.
On Monday, the main opposition Sam Rainsy Party claimed it won control of 28 communes and sangkats, more than doubling its presence in local councils from the last elections when it won 13.
But Hun Sen said his party won about 1.8 million more votes than the Sam Rainsy Party. "The second place (winner) is still far from being a strong competitor ... very huge difference," he said.
Hun Sen said the election results "will not lead to any major changes in the local governance."
Twelve political parties fielded a total of 102,266 candidates to compete for 11,353 council seats in Sunday's elections.

The NEC and YOUN people stand at your side, so you must win.
Is it correct?
The night before election, all the dogs in Cambodia bark the whole night. No body any khmer can people.
This the culture of CPP. Khmer people know this very well.
CPP stops KHMER-KHMERS to vote.
They used Youn Illegal immigrants vote for them and making a beautiful landslide voting !
Well done Hun Xen,good boy,you're the real child of Uncle HO-HO.
Bravo Hun Sen! and tighten your family line by inter-marriage between high rangking CPP officials children.
But open your eyes. Businessmen and businesswomen never let their children marry with your sons or your daughters. Why? because they are clever.They don't want to mess their off-spring blood with your thirsty and dirty blood. They prefer to throw million of dollars on your head and send their off- spring abroad, far from the eyes of your bad educated ones. And their off-spring marry the ones they love,free from your dirty environment. For them, even you are powerful, you are just the race of KR and the race of "low people".

I was happy that only two people were killed in this election. From now on, if the CPP allows their opponents a level playingfield - the opposition can have equal acess to state media and free to go everywhere to spread their messages, their results will keep improving in the future. But if the CPP pereceives that this is done by their expenese, they would not tolerate that, and violence would return in large scale. I think one main reason the CPP didn't use violence ( say NIL) this time, was because they felt secure with their power base.
I hope this culture of tolerance will last forever.
I was no happy that there are people killed in the during time of election
because that is impunity tradition in Cambodia lead by Ah Hun Sen (the criminal against humanity in Cambodia)
I will be happy if there is no victim and no dead in Cambodia during election
AH HUN SEN KBAL YOUN KHLOUN SAT'
