The number of seats at the National Assembly is an important issue.
Since the UN-organized elections in 1993, the number of seats at the National Assembly has practically NOT changed (from 120 to only 123, with the three additional seats representing three newly-created small constituencies). This is at odds with the “Law on the Election of National Assembly Members” whose Article 9 stipulates that the total number of Assembly seats should increase, from one legislative term to another, in line with the increase in the country’s population.
Over the last 20 years Cambodia’s population has increased from approximately 10 million to approximately 14 million, meaning a 40 percent increase. Why then hasn’t the total number of Assembly seats increased accordingly? This is a point worth addressing and a political injustice to the local population worth redressing.
Over the past three successive terms (1998-2003, 2003-2008, 2008-2013) and also for the next term (2013-2018) the ruling CPP has always imposed its decision to keep the same number of Assembly seats, at 123. The reason is because they know that, given the current election system of proportional representation and the current formula for seat allocation, any additional seat to be created would go, in most cases, to the opposition.
Let’s take the example of Preah Sihanouk province which includes the city port of Sihanoukville. In spite of its population having more than doubled over the last 15 years to over 200,000, it is still a one-seat constituent, the corresponding seat being detained by the CPP. But any additional seat to be created would be automatically won by the opposition. This is definitely not fair to a large portion of the population who are not represented, in violation of the law, and it goes against democratic principle.

If this election is a free and fair election, it will be a landslide victory for CNRP. What make us worry the most is the Nguyen illegally hold Khmer Identity to vote.

Ah Hun Sen is simply Ah Kbot cheat.
The united of Ken Sokha & Sam Rainsey will everlastingly save Cambodia, our homeland, from disappearing from the world map. However, the success of CNRP requires the dedication and support from all Cambodians to vote for CNRP (7).
All Khmers wake up and see the reality surround you. Ho Chi Minh vision of Vietnamization of Cambodia has been in pregress and if we don't stop, there will be no more Cambodia in 20 years.
Please VOTE CNRP (7) for our children future.
LOVE to all Khmers,
Rainsy does not unite with Kem Soha. He'll unite with Hun Sen and He'll kick Kem Sokha out. I hope i'm wrong.

La radio Khmer RFI en France est pro-CPP. Les cambodgiens en France doivent protester devant la station Radio RFI en France.
Perspective:
DON’T WAIT FOR SOMEBODY TO DROP FROM THE SKY TO LEAD CAMBODIA
To make the devil Ho Chi Minh’s concept materialize, Vietnam has been using many tactical tricks such as creating and brainwashing the Khmer Vietminh to kill millions of Khmer people.
In recent years, Vietnam has been trying to crush all Khmer nationalists by using its puppet Hun Sen.
Besides the violent measures, Vietnam also used the psychological warfare by spreading all the wrong ideas to Khmer people.
For example:
- Anar Kor Dauch Anar.
- The essential CPP members have already gotten enough fortune, they are not going to commit any more corruption, while the CNRP members are poor so they will take turn to get rich.
- Oss Chet Heuy Reung Khmer.
- Oss Chum Neur Heuy Leu Neak Noyor Bay Khmer,
- If Sam Rainsy is pro democracy, why Sam Rainsy has to stay at the top of his party for a long time ?
- Etc…
All these words have weakened the spirit of nationalism amongst regular Khmer people, making Khmer people not to have trust with prospective Khmer leaders.
Regarding Sam Rainsy’s issue, there have been severe clashes of opinion between Khmer people – actually between Khmer and the Vietnamese disguised as Khmer. Some consider Sam Rainsy as hero, some ( who are Yuon or Yuon slave ) consider him as coward.
But if we change our habit a little bit by spending more time reflecting on our national interest, we would come up with the right decision.
Vietnam knew that a credible challenge to its puppet Hun Sen is Sam Rainsy. So, Vietnam needs to eliminate Sam Rainsy by ordering Hun Sen to punish and incarcerate Sam Rainsy.
To avoid this unjust and stupid punishment, Sam Rainsy made a wise decision by fleeing out of Cambodia.
Some crazy people have insisted on Sam Rainsy to return home to serve the jail term to prove that he is a brave man or hero. I have fiercely opposed to this dumb idea because we would go right into Vietnam’s trap. Sam Rainsy can be easily killed in jail.
Now, regarding Sam Rainsy’s return after the king Sihamoni has pardoned him.
Trying to discredit Sam Rainsy and weaken Sam Rainsy and the CNRP’s popularity, this evil Vietnam has spread the words that Sam Rainsy have made some concessions to Hun Sen.
Khmer people should remember that the evil Vietnam (Khmer Vietminh) and the Khmer rouge had fouled the Khmer Republic soldiers – Lon Nol’s soldiers – to lay down their guns and later got killed by them. The killing field during the Pol Pot era was the genius work of this evil Vietnam.
So, please be aware of this psychological warfare deployed by this evil Vietnam.
By now, we should realize and accept the fact that Sam Rainsy is a well educate, honest, competent, courageous, and decisive leader. He is relatively the best amongst Khmer people. Cambodia and Khmer people will gain instant respect from the international community when Sam Rainsy becomes the supreme leader of Cambodia. Khmer people will be ecstatic to see Sam Rainsy as leader. And nobody will drop from the sky to lead Cambodia.

i think from the looks of it all, the oppositon's parliament's seats will increase. keep in mind, too, there the election is every 5 years. so, even if a party loses this time around, there's always the next election, etc. so, it's not like the end of the world or something, you know. be patient, smart and wise, ok!
WE NEED TO POSTPONE THE ELECTION DATE IN ORDER TO ORGANIZE THE REAL FREE AND FAIR ELECTION.

Hahaha... man so funny. this happens in rally in the countryside too. people are really fed up and now are very daring.
Important:
It is possible those Vietnamese come to Cambodia to vote. National election committee is under their hand. They can produce illimited number of identification for their people to vote. We have to think about this seriously about this. DEMOGRAPHIC PAPER WORK IS UNDER YOUN'S HAND.
