The election for the Senate ended on Sunday afternoon and it was conducted in an atmosphere of calm. That was what Im Suosdey, president of the National Election of Cheaters (NEC), claimed during a press conference that ended not too long ago. Im Suosdey indicated that based on preliminary results, the CPP lead the SRP by a large margin (KI-Media: Wasn’t it a foregone conclusion?). A CPP representative announced that his party received 800 votes from members of other parties.

According the report provided by the NEC, commonly known as the National Election of Cheaters, the CPP received a wide margin of votes over the SRP, even though this is just a temporary result. Furthermore, a CPP representative immediately announced during a press conference held about 1 hour ago that the CPP received 797 votes from members of other parties.

The NEC report indicated that 58 votes were unaccounted for due to people not going to vote. The total number of votes counted was 11,383.

Im Suosdey commented that the atmosphere of the election was calm and the election was conducted smoothly.


It should be noted that, before the election, the SRP claimed that the CPP bought votes from SRP activists.

Comfrel, the Committee for Free and Fair Elections in Cambodia, announced that, unlike other elections, it did not send out its observers during this election because it believes that this election in not effective and that Comfrel does not support such election.

We all know that CPP will win 2012-213 election by landslide becasue of cheating as the did with previous elections in the past.

Why Sam Rainsy and Kim Sokha still joining this cheating eleciton especially Sam Rainsy party which I use to support all the way till now ?

Without serious electoral reforms, Sam Rainsy should demand that UN and Donors get serious or the main opposition party will explore other alternative. We can't no longer legitimize this regime through such election fraud and political oppression. Time to take a stand on this issue, seriously. Boycott 2013!!!!!

"Sam Rainsy should demand that UN and Donors get serious"

SRP, and many opposition parties have been asking and asking every years. The problems is, they all believe and still support CPP, as the legitimate government. UN also supported Pol Pot as the legitimite government when 2 million perished.

Once CPP government stops getting direct supports and aids from the idiots UN, US and other international communities, then opposition parties and NGOs may have a chance of being heard.
