The Sam Rainsy Party filed more than 17,000 documents as evidence of vote fraud to the Constitutional Council Tuesday, in the party's final appeal contesting the results of July's election.
The leading opposition party maintains that the results of the elections, in which the ruling Cambodian People's Party claims to have won 90 of 123 National Assembly seats, are not valid.
The party, which has claimed 26 seats, has called for a nationwide re-vote, joined by the Human Rights Party in a denial of the results.
The National Election Committee ruled earlier this month the election results should stand, and the Council now has between 10 and 20 days to determine whether a hearing is necessary for the complaint.
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy has said he will wait to hear the results before determining whether to attempt to deadlock the government by boycotting a National Assembly swearing-in ceremony next month.
The SRP complaint included more than 100 administrative forms, numbered 1018, which the party claims was used in lieu of photo identification to add votes to the CPP count.
"We have additional, new evidence to support our complaint to the Constitutional Council," SRP lawyer Kong Sam On told reporters Tuesday. "We have witnesses, witness reports, form 1018, and nearly 20,000 voter's with their names omitted [from registries]."
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy said Tuesday he had no faith in the Constitutional Council.
"We've come here for hopelessness," he said. "But we must follow the procedure."
The Council's decision was likely to serve the interest of the CPP only, he said.
The Council has denied two previous SRP appeals. The Council upheld a fine against the party for insulting CPP leaders, and denied a hearing on the validity of the 1018 forms for voter registration.

Government,NEC roles are supposed to be enforcing the laws for TRANSPARENCY and REAL DEVELOPMENT of cambodia. Public POWER is not to use in any dirty TRICKS for neither any individual or any PARTY.
Constitutional council has to uphold aims and objectives of national CONSTITUTION, particularly for OUR NATIONAL INTERESTS.
Internention of the KING is compulsive in order to strenghten, not only UNITY but better conformed society to our constitution.
Reluctance to undertake steps for NATIONAL interest, should then an INDEPENDENT ROYAL COMMISSION as necessity.

CPP under Hun Sen leadership is carrying the policy of Police State. All mechanics are under CPP's eyes and control. And major national policemen are Vietnamese who have falsified themselves as Khmer...
Cambodia presently has no sovereign integrity because foreigners are carrying guns to safeguard Cambodian citizens.
Cambodia General Election for 2008: the real winner

Hun Sen is the looser, the thief, the stealer, and the robber.
You are garbage prime minister.

SRP and HRP prominent members were cost them anywhere from $70,000 to $100,000 per head to run the assembly seat. I can see why they are not accept this election, because, when they come back home like America, France, Australia, Canada their wives will curse them and maybe divorce them. Few HRP members were back home and said they(5) were spend about $500,000 for nothing.... and their families are pressuring them to divorce.

Someone in SRP needs to tell Mr. Rainsy to learn to how accept defeat. When you cannot accept the reality of your own defeat, you are putting yourself in danger of delution and get far from reality, which can be bad effects for your own party for the most part. Hitler who was out of touch with reality in the later stage of WWII and kept the war going even when most of his military commanders advised that the war was lost.
