At the latest announcement of commune election results by the National Election Committee (NEC) on Wednesday, the number of Funcinpec commune councilors has dropped significantly. During the 2002 commune election, Funcinpec won commune councilor positions in almost all communes in the country, and was second only to the CPP, but for this election, Funcinpec was able to obtain only 274 commune councilor seats, i.e. 2.4% only of a total number of 11,353 seats in the entire country. For the seats of commune chief, Funcinpec number drops from 10 in 2002 to 2 currently. The NRP received more votes than Funcinpec, even though the NRP did not win any commune chief seat, but the NRP won 425 commune councilor seats, i.e. 3.7% of the total number of seats. Funcinpec major loss took place in the provinces of Kompong Cham and Prey veng, and coincidentally, these two provinces are those where the NRP received the most seats also.

despite how much SRP has been trying, I'm more interested to find out how much SRP has gained.

Please share your statistics.

Thank you.
