PHNOM PENH: Cambodian political parties are staging raucous rallies throughout the country ahead of next week's polls, but few expect voters to oust the party that has ruled for three decades. The Cambodian People's Party (CPP) has undermined its political rivals and is expected to dominate the July 27 poll, extending Prime Minister Hun Sen's 23-year grip on power.
Although it appears assured of victory, the CPP has mounted a massive campaign, parading in shiny black SUVs while covering the country with posters and the airwaves with promises of further development. "People are asking why such an effort? The extra effort they are making is to ensure an absolute majority," said political analyst Chea Vannath. About 8.1 million people are registered to vote at 15,000 polling stations, under the eyes of more than 13,000 domestic and international observers.

Vote CPP to end all killing fields in Cambodia in the future.
It seem base on the the picture the on all parties the SRP have majority of supporters across the country. I can't see how the CPP will win this time other than cheating....
The CPP are well known for war and killing past, present and future is a communist party...
We need to change government who know where Cambodia's boarder line is and not just draw a new one on the fly like the stupid Hun Sen CPP government which show that they are the root cause of this problems. If the Thai is on Cambodia's territory, they should aslo send troops to Vietname boarder as well as the Viet is already on Cambodia's terrority.
****If we continue to vote CPP soon not only the people of cambodia will ve evicted from our home but we WONT HAVE our land call Cambodia as home.****
May be Hun Sen have sold the off Preah Vihear Land to Mr Thaksin Shinawatra during their recent goft game.!
