A first for the Cambodian election system: the setup of election for local councils – which is supposed to reinforce democratic life in the country – was announced by Hun Sen.
On Sunday 17 May 2009, for the first time, an election will be organized for municipal, provincial, district, municipalities and communes councils in the entire country. According to a communiqué issued by the National Election Committee (NEC), this reform was officially announced by Prime minister Hun Sen on 27 October. According to Tep Nitha, NEC secretary-general, this new election constitutes an important step for the reinforcement of democracy in Cambodia.
Article 4 of the election law for municipal, provincial, municipality, district and commune councils stipulates an election with non-universal suffrage, with indirect and secret balloting. The electoral body will consist only of elected municipal councils (commune chiefs, first and second deputy-commune chiefs, and members of the councils) who were elected in a universal suffrage on 01 April 2007. Currently, the political affiliations of those who can vote for the 2009 election are as follows: 7,993 belonging to the CPP, 2,660 to SRP, 425 to the NRP, 274 to Funcinpec, and 1 to the Hang Dara Movement for Democracy Party.
The kingdom is subdivided into 24 provinces and municipalities, 185 district and 1,621 communes.
