The election for the third legislature of Cambodian Senate has begun on Sunday morning with two main political parties participating in the contest.
The two parties are the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) and Sam Rainsy Party, the country's main opposition party, according to the National Election Committee (NEC).
Prime Minister Hun Sen casted his ballot near his residence in Takhmau district, Kandal province, about 10 km south of the capital.
The Senate election is voted by 119 Members of Parliament and 11,351 commune councilors at 33 polling stations across the country, it added.
Cambodia's Senate has 61 seats, but the election is held for 57 seats as two senators will be appointed by the King and the other 2 by the National Assembly.
The results will be announced Sunday afternoon.
The Senate election is held every six years. The last one was in Jan. 2006, at that time, three parties -- CPP, Funcinpec and Sam Rainsy Party -- joined the contest. As a result, the CPP won 45 seats, Funcinpec 10 seats and the Sam Rainsy Party 2 seats.

That is ver true statement - Election in Cambodia all fraud! UN & US know about the corrupt criminal system that Hun Sen runs in Cambodia. It is just a matter of time that Hun Sen will be brought down. If Hun is smart and still want to be alive, he should step down before Justice and people's power get to him. For more

Useless election? Agreed! And yet SRP still entertains the CPP and legitimize the CPP controlled NEC.
Gaining a few more seats, SRP has made a big deal out of it. They praise each other for the "victory". What victory? Just a bunch of clowns in Europe, France and Australia jumping up and down.
