PHNOM PENH, May 12 (Xinhua) -- Altogether 12 political parties have officially registered for the parliamentary election of Cambodia on July 27, the National Election Committee (NEC) announced on Monday, or the closing date of registration.
This number is lower than the 2003 general election, which had 23 political parties, Tep Nytha, secretary general of the NEC, told a press conference at the NEC office.
The decrease could be attributed to lack of budget and human resources, he added.
The 12 political parties will compete for the 123 seats in the Cambodian National Assembly.
In the 2003 general election, the ruling Cambodian People's Party led by Prime Minister Hun Sen won 73 seats, the co-ruling Funcinpec Party 26 seats, and the major opposition Sam Rainsy Party 24 seats.

I do not think Lon Nol's son (Lon Rith) party has more than 20 people who work for him. Is it worth to spend about $800 to register just to be called I am a President of a political party.
You woke up 3 months ago, and decided to have a political party to compete in an election that was 6 months away. There is 100% chance that you are going to fail. This would mean the end of your unrealistic dream.
Do you think being a son of a former president will automatically qualify you to be the next president?
If you insist on competing because it's your right, you will prove one thing for sure that you will be a real loser.
Hahaha!
