ELECTION RESULTS
FOR THE SAM RAINSY PARTY
FOR THE SAM RAINSY PARTY
From the previous commune council election in 2002 to last Sunday's commune council election, the opposition Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) achieved the following performances:
1- Number of communes won by the party (out of a total of 1,621 communes): 28 versus 13, as a result of 10 communes lost to the CPP and 25 communes taken from the CPP.
2- Number of popular votes collected by the party throughout the country: 1.3 million versus 0.7 million (practically double).
3- Number of commune councillor positions throughout the country: 2,630 versus 1,340 (practically double).
4- Number of communes with SRP councillors throughout the country: approximately 1,500 (over 90 percent coverage) versus 950 (60 percent coverage). In most of Cambodia's communes now, the SRP is the only party to face the CPP to push for the decentralization process to move ahead.
Remark:
In 2002, there were 4.54 million voters who actually cast their ballot compared to 5.18 million registered voters, reflecting a voter turnout of 87.5 percent. In 2007, there were 5.10 million voters who actually cast their ballot compared to 7.79 million registered voters, reflecting a voter turnout of only 65.4 percent. Voter turnout plummeted last Sunday as a result of administrative harassment and political discrimination through manipulation of voter lists over the past eight months. Without the organized confusion on Voting Day, there would have been an additional 1.7 million actual voters, most of them non-CPP supporters. The election result would have been completely different.

I can see SRP's effort, more than half gain is a hard work and success.
Now SRP will work harder to amuse CPP in enhancing justice and development for Cambodians.
To acheive democratization in Cambodia, only SRP can play her essential roles, and challenged works come to all activists regardless of knowledge, ability, support and mentality.
All are commitment....there are many Khmer personality in CPP want to have to democratization in Cambodia too, so incorporate with them: both public and secret contact.
BORN FROM THE PEOPLE, SERVE THE PEOPLE AND DIE FOR THE PEOPLE = CPP AND THE PEOPLE VOTED FOR THEM TO WIN.
CAMBODIAN PEOPLE AGAINST
AIDS = ALIENS INFECTED DONKEYS SYNDROM FROM K LOKOS GRINGOS IN THE US, CANADA AND AUSTRALIA.
TOO LATE SRP= SUPER RETARDED PARROT! go away with your syndrom...
Good fight SRP...Yes, 26 communes may not be alot right now, but let us continue...
-We should continue to call for a judicial reform.
-We should continue to highlight the high level of corruption within the government.
-We should continue to call for results of investigation to the Union leaders assisination.
-But most of all, we should continue to build on what we have as well as improving the lives of our Khmer people nationwide through employment opportunities.
-We should continue to put special emphasis on justic, peace and unity among our people, and to build a good relation with neighbors as well as the international community.
Khmer still need help from abroad. Our human resources are still limited. Our economy is still donors depended.
-We need to encourage foreign investors as well as Cambodians Abroad to continue helping their relatives in Cambodia, especially in areas where our government is unable to reach.
-We need to encourage our government and civil society to recognize and to deal with the increasingly diverse Cambodian population in the twenty-first century. Cambodia lacks uniformities in how to incoporate our most precious resources -human resources. It is not an exggeration, when we say that our young people are all over the world
to study. We have gotten young men and women in Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, China, Germany, France, England, the United States to name a few.
Before 2002, CCP controled all communes in Cambodia. And now they cannot have the full control any more. This is the success of Democrats ( SRP).
