January 29, 2012
The Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) has achieved a notable success in
senatorial elections today, Sunday January 29, with the number of SRP
senators jumping from two to 11.
This result is the latest in a string of electoral successes --
legislative, communal, provincial and senatorial -- since the party's
creation in 1995. The party has again confirmed its place as the
second-largest in Cambodia, and the only political force capable of
mounting a long-term challenge to the Cambodian People's Party (CPP),
in power since 1979.
These senatorial elections are significant in several respects and
should be understood in the following context:
- Only two parties were competing, the CPP and the SRP, the rest being
too small to have a chance of winning a senatorial seat. The SRP is
the only force which can provide a clear alternative to the CPP.
- The CPP controls the national committee that organises the
elections, which makes all kinds of manipulation possible. The CPP
controls all the television stations as well as the country's
administrative machinery, the police, the judiciary, as well as
corrupt sources of finance. It does not hesitate to use these tools to
weaken the SRP by harassment, intimidation and the buying of votes.
This makes the opposition's success today all the more remarkable.
- Sam Rainsy, leader of the SRP, was forced into exile at the end of
2009 after a series of politically motivated judicial decisions. By
“decapitating” the SRP and depriving it of its historic leader in
Cambodia, the CPP thought it could destroy the only opposition of
which it is really afraid. Today's results show, on the contrary, an
SRP that is stronger than ever and a CPP that has lamentably failed in
its anti-democratic effort, already condemned by the
Inter-Parliamentary Union, the European Parliament, human rights
organisations worldwide and numerous friendly governments.
SRP parliamentarians demand reform of the current unjust electoral
system, as recommended by Professor Surya Subedi, United Nations
Special Rapporteur, and the return of Sam Rainsy for the communal
elections of June 2012 and the legislative elections of July 2013, in
accordance with the spirit of the 1991 Paris Peace Accords on
Cambodia.

SIGNIFICATION DU SUCCES DU PARTI SAM RAINSY AUX ELECTIONS SENATORIALES
Le Parti Sam Rainsy (PSR) vient de remporter un brillant succès aux
élections sénatoriales de ce dimanche 29 janvier 2012. Le nombre de
Sénateurs PSR passe de 2 à 11, soit plus de cinq fois plus que
précédemment.
Ce bon résultat prolonge et confirme la tendance haussière enregistrée
sans discontinuité par le PSR à toutes les élections successives –
législatives, communales, provinciales and sénatoriales – depuis la
création du parti en 1995. C’est ainsi que le PSR conforte
régulièrement sa place de deuxième force politique du Cambodge, se
positionnant nettement comme la seule force d’opposition capable de
remettre en cause, lentement mais sûrement, la domination du Parti du
Peuple Cambodgien (PPC) au pouvoir depuis 1979.
Ces dernières élections sénatoriales sont significatives à plusieurs
égards et leurs résultats doivent être appréciés à la lumière des
faits suivants:
- Deux partis seulement étaient en lice : le PPC et le PSR, les autres
partis étant trop petits pour espérer gagner le moindre siège au
Sénat. Toute alternance politique passe donc par le PSR, ce qui offre
un choix clair pour le peuple cambodgien.
- Le PPC contrôle le comité national qui organise les élections, ce
qui permet toutes sortes de manipulations. Le PPC contrôle en plus
toutes les stations de télévision ainsi que l’appareil administratif,
l’appareil policier, l’appareil judiciaire et le pouvoir de l’argent –
notamment l’argent de la corruption – qu’il n’hésite pas à utiliser à
fond pour affaiblir le PSR à travers harcèlements, intimidations et
achats de votes. Dans ces conditions, le succès remporté aujourd’hui
par l’opposition est encore plus méritant.
- Sam Rainsy, le Président du PSR, a été contraint à l’exil depuis fin
2009 après une série de condamnations judiciaires de caractère
politique par des tribunaux aux ordres. En "décapitant" le PSR et en
le privant de son chef historique au Cambodge, le PPC pensait pouvoir
détruire la seule opposition qu’il craint véritablement. Les résultats
d’aujourd’hui montrent au contraire un PSR plus fort que jamais et un
PPC qui a échoué lamentablement dans sa tentative anti-démocratique
déjà condamnée par l’Union Interparlementaire, le Parlement Européen,
les organisations nationales et internationales de droits de l’homme
et les gouvernements de nombreux pays amis.
Les Parlementaires du PSR réclament une réforme du système électoral
actuellement très injuste, comme le préconise le Professeur Surya
Subedi, Rapporteur Spécial des Nations Unies, et le retour de Sam
Rainsy pour les élections communales de juin 2012 et les élections
législatives de juillet 2013 dans le respect des Accords de Paris de
1991 sur le Cambodge.

All this achievement with all voting ridged, intimidate, vote buying, fruad, that is very proud of MP Samrainsy and very best wish for all of us and Samrainsy party in next elections.

and party ?
How could your nation believe you , if you are French citizen and became
to Khmer leader or party ?
Even your party is Sam rainzy if
everything you had a problem you always get your passport run away not responsibility with your problem , how could we believe
you exact ?
No body else your stolen our
vote today ?
BAD AND GOOD KHMER Knew not
Blind like somebody said .
2:38AM YOUR MASTER'S KILLING FIELD IS VIET. DICTATOR'S HUN SEN AND CPP IS VIET BRAIN. 21TH CENTURY NO MATTER HOW LEADER DISTAND, MATTER IS TOUCH! SPIRIT AND CHANGED,...KHMER AKMATAK.
Thanks 2;38am
What ever you said , it doesn't
mater,I not Cpp supporter or any
connection in Cambodia government
in present day , but I just don't
understood what with your plan to
control with your nation , just
explain to me how to control the
situation ;
THANKS for commend .
2:38AM
You're stupid as stupid does. It's an old song you're singing for people like you. Who would stay for the lawless people like you to kill us? If you can run away and live another day try to save your country, why not? You have no sense how Khmer people now thinking about the scum people like you!!!
Today govevernment is an illegal government by the Coup d'état. Since then, they organize to steal the votes, and illegal vote from Youn immigrant. Even SRP party win that such amount means nothing instead. More and more we see as Mr. Soun Serey Ratha said that Cambodian election is simply to legalize the CPP party in the power in cheating the election to show the world that they have votes from the people to be in power as Hun Sen usually says. In the other hand, is like to support the regime to keep on grabbing people land, logging etc...
***TO GET OUT OF THIS REGIME IS THE REVOLUTION WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY. Youn strategy is to keep Hun Sen in power as they can in order to VIETNAMITIZE Cambodia with its population as we know that today, there are may millions Youns in Cambodia. More and more Khmer seems becoming minority.
Seng Theary, what do you think?
Thanks seng Theary , how could
you do to get away from bloody ?
I do understood the situation in
Cambodia country but what we could
changing the system to be safe ?
Congratulation to SRP! We Khmers are still alives only if SRP gets more and more votes and SRP will win the national election in 2013.
From Prash tror pang Kampuchea Krom...always Khmer and will be Khmer forever!!!!
Ce résultat montre que le Cambodge est un pays démocratique et que le gouvernenement n'a fait aucune pression aux membres de PSR.
Donc, SAM Rainsy doit être très honête pour ses propos.
Listen to the Khmer post radio and world Khmer radio every day at www.thekhmerpost.com and www.worldkhmerradioonline.com
Thank you!
Hey guys, its not a victory, dont let our guards down. Dictator Hun Sen
will now use any means of power he can to exert his brute force over his oponent. He is going to call up his back brothers from the East soon.
The question is, will the US and UN still support the Dictator of 33 years and turn a blind eye on the current regime.
2:38 AM, Dictator Hun Sen can answer all your questions. But for him to answer your questions, he will need to ask his big brother.
To improve the chance of prevailing over the puppet party in 2013, we need international help to put the pressure on this Yuon's slave government to accept an independent National Election Committee, otherwise the result will be the same.
Ah Kwack,
If you are a real Khmer and you are so afraid of Ah Kantorb, let the election goes smoothly without fraud so that the Democratic Party wins and take care the territorial integrity for you.
The Sam Rainsy tree roots takes roots deeper and deeper into Cambodian people
hearts.This party gets 11 more seats.
That is so great.
Hun Sen has had power,money,and
supported by king and Vietnam govt.
The CPP lost 11 seats.
សូមខ្មែរឈប់នាំគ្នាទៅបោះឆ្នោតទៀតទៅ! បងប្អូនបានដឹងនិងលឺអាខ្វាក់វានិយាយទេ! យើងនាំគ្នាបោះទាល់តែអស់ក្តិតខោក៏មិនឈ្នៈវាដែរ,យួនពេញស្រុក,គ ជ ប សុទ្ធតែគ្នាវានិងអំណាចនៅលើដៃវាទាំងស្រុង។ រីឯសម ខាងស៊ីនិង កិម ត្រប់ខាក៏ជាកូនអុករបស់យួនដែរដូច្នេះអ្នកទាំងពីរក្បាលនេះក៏ជាអាយ៉ងយួនកំពុងជួយដើរតួអោយល្ខោនយួនដែរ។គឺមានតែប្រើអំណាចយើងជាពលរដ្ឋទាញទម្លាក់ក្បាលវាអោយចេញពីអំណាចទើបបាន។
Because there were only two parties took part in the Senate Election this year. The CPP controlled NEC has allowed abit more gain to SRP, aiming to legitimize that there is democracy in Cambodia in the circumstance of KR tribunal crisis and while Cambodia is seeking support from UN member states. There will be a different landscape in the Commune election this year.
Real democracy will come from within Cambodia not from a running way leader.
Agreed with 2.38AM.
Running away leader? Did your parents have a choice before fleeing the country? Did Sam Rainsy have a choice before fleeing the country? Removing illegal border post to protect the Khmer land but sentenced to 12 years because of AH Kwak. What was Sam Rainsy's crime again, MR FUCKER 8:06AM
First of all,CONGRATULATION TO SRP AND THE REST OF CAMBODIAN NATIONAL SUPPORTS.PLEASE PUT ALL YOUR HEART AND EFFORT TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS CAMBODIAN TO HELP SUPPORT OUR COUNTRY FROM THESE EVIL DICTATOR.WE CAN NOT AFFORD ANOTHER FOUR MORE YEARS OF CCP RULING.IT'S OUR COUNTRY,OUR LAND.OUR PEOPLE AND OUR RIGHT TO RUN OUR COUNTRY.IT'S ABOUT TIME WE CLEAN THESE EVIL AND CORRUPTED LEADERS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY.UNITE ALL WE STAND FOR THE SAKE OF OUR FELLOW CAMBODIAN AND COUNTRY VOTE FOR SRP!!!!!!
To prawn brain (8:06am)
Go to live at the temple!

In my life suffer ,I learn from the
mistake in 3/14/ or 16th 1970 in
my hope Cambodia nation should get
away from bloody , but is still
happen all Khmer were got kill without reason and we still don't
know whom was commit crime yet and
no body responsibility and how they
did that my boss on vacation in
french .
THANKS MAY GOOD BLESS YOU ALL '
It is very obvious when SRP's audience criticize others, it is okay. When the criticizers are being criticized, criticizers can not take it but very good at name calling and swearing. What's a joke?
You are all living overseas. This means that most of you have become French, American, Australian etc citizenship. Please stay in your country that you've sworn an oath to. Please don't come back, we don't want you. We, Cambodian, do things different to you.
Hey 9:16am there is a BIG different between a vacation and a fugitive. Each country has different sets of rules and laws. You might not like Cambodian laws and orders, please stay in your respected country, don't come to Cambodia. Let Cambodians sort out our democracy among ourselves.
First , thanks seng theary and thanks
to 8;06am this was not our personal
problem but is our is nation we better find the is coldest to find
the way peaceful not tempest, tempest is not work in official .
For I myself was not hate Sam or
Hun sen . In my member families were get kill 25 persons by communist and I force myself
to get away to die as immigration
in USA in 1975 , so what can I do?
If u really KHMER please to get
away from bloody please . Once of
proverbs said that , the once had
music was playing up to the sky ,
but was not really wake up, but the
whom was kept in silence will wake
to the star .

That is large enough to beat the CPP. Keep on fighting SRP maybe 20 more years you will gain 2-3 more seats.
-SRP Supporter
11:33 AM. HEY FUCKER. HUN SEN'S DICK IS HARD. STOP MAKING HIM HARD, ISNT YOUR MOUTH GETTING DRY ALREADY?
Cambodians are not too stupid to learn. Look at their ancestors and the great Angkor Era the Khmer Empire enjoyed.
They only lack opportunity and means. Help them understand their rights and become informed through education, they will become masters of their own land and destiny!
Money cannot buy everything; there will always be Cambodians who won't sell their conscience. With time and education, the CPP will have a hard time staying in power.
