AFP News – August 14 ,2013

Cambodia's opposition party on Wednesday appealed against preliminary official election results that handed a narrow victory to strongman Prime Minister Hun Sen despite allegations of widespread fraud.


The results, released Monday by the National Election Committee (NEC), found the incumbent premier's long-ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) had edged the hotly disputed election, taking 3.2 million votes to the opposition's 2.9 million.


The Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) has rejected the results, demanding an independent probe into its allegation that the election was tarnished by massive vote-rigging.

Party officials lodged a complaint with the NEC on Wednesday.

"We are demanding that the NEC reviews its mechanisms and processes," senior opposition official Kuy Bunroeun told reporters.


"The CNRP cannot accept the results," he said, adding they were "far different" from his party's tally that shows it won the election with an estimate of 63 seats in parliament.

Cambodia has been stuck in a political impasse since the CPP claimed victory in the July 28 vote, with the military deployed in the capital Phnom Penh last week after the opposition threatened mass demonstrations.

The final results giving the number of seats won should have been released later this week, but the NEC said the political deadlock means they will now be announced by September 8.

"Due to the complaints (from CNRP), the release of the final results will be delayed," NEC's secretary-general Tep Nytha told AFP.


The CPP claims it secured an estimated 68 of the 123 lower house seats available, losing 22 seats since the last polls. The CNRP was said to have won 55.


If confirmed, it would be the ruling party's worst election result since 1998.

The opposition, which has threatened to boycott parliament, last week called on the UN to help resolve the dispute to protect "the victory" of the people.


While an inquiry into the election has been broadly accepted by all involved, the parties have failed to agree on the terms, particularly over a mooted role for the United Nations.

Hun Sen -- who has been in power for 28 years -- has vowed to establish a government under his leadership despite the opposition's allegations.

The premier, 61, a former Khmer Rouge cadre who defected from the murderous regime, has vowed to rule until he is 74.

If CPP want to form a new government it will not working at this time, because international will not recognize.

Election investigations must allow NGO and UN play full role regardless the Cambodia law if apply.
However NEC must agree with CNRP because NEC had violated
the law by removed over one million names from the voter lists and 200,000 names duplication votes. By law NEC should be neutrally.
In the past 20 years NEC had been stole the people votes from opposition’s parties and gave to Hun Sen party that is why Hun Sen won the elections all the times.

verify my ass! Do you see those fakers doing nothing around the table? Where are the forms to be check over with all parties? All those asshole around the table are all NEC CPP people. what a joke. All the NGO said the method/what they are doing is fake/not the right way to do because all they are doing is checking the addition basically. Why are the NEC still insist on doing it alone? Only one answer to that: they are cheating. They lost and now try to cover up and cheat. The votes really recheck and recount. CNRP will win. Period. Hun Sen, CPP are thieves, cheaters. They want to force themselves on the people even after the people rejected them. If this is allow, the country will be ruin. Stand up Khmer. Kick CPP out now.

Hun Sen already set the NEC final result before an election started. NEC is controlling by Hun Sen. So whatever the final investigation is, it will be the same result as Hun Sen wanted. NEC is useless, election fraud and cheating committee.

About 80% of Cambodian are voting for CNRP.

Hun Sen is a criminal for cheating and election fraud.

Hun Sen must go.

Today the world are in high tech, those spreadsheets, calculators and pens are not accurate and confusion.

We needed to reform NEC and restart an election, installed a new Mainframe computer, train new employees by the United Nations, collecting new voters names, face photo, thumb scan and save it in the Mainframe computer. When the register voters come vote they must put their thumb on the scanner and it will show their name and face on the computer display. The voters will select their party and vote.

It will take a lot of time and spent a lot of money in order to make an election more accurate, free and fair.

Hun Sen must resign now and come back in the next 5 years. Currently Hun Sen criminal activities and election fraud is not allowed him to be re-elected by an International Laws.

Mr. Robert Patterson, Chief of Party for Cambodia, where is he right now. Did Hun Sen already paid him off? or he is no longer working for Cambodia.

An election observers are used to help prevent fraud and assure voters that the election is fair. International observers (bilateral and multilateral) may be invited to observe the elections (examples include election observation by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), European Union election observation missions, observation missions of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), as well as international observation organized by NGOs, such as CIS-EMO, European Network of Election Monitoring Organizations (ENEMO), etc.). Some countries also invite foreign observers (i.e. bi-lateral observation, as opposed to multi-lateral observation by international observers).

We CNRP try to find justice and the truth in a peaceful way, if not possible, Cambodiawide protest to force the UN intervention is the way. 5 more years of Hun Sen means Cambodia is a new Vietnamese province.

CPP needs to be uprooted from Cambodia in 2013. If we need to shed some blood, so be it.
There can be no construction without destruction.
Be ready all Khmer youths and Khmer populace.

I hope we all realize now that "Hun Sen" is not a person but a mask to hide behind. The real wheeler and dealer behind the mask is the Yuons.

Here is another "inside" information for some Khmers who have not visited KI often. The "Ministers" of every position are Yuons. Yes, they have Khmer names but they are not Khmer blood.

Anonymous said...

Can you see now why they are fighting so hard to keep their position as a "winner"?
If the CNRP win, those "fake" Khmers will be out off a job or being persecuted right away. We cannot allow the CPP to steal this election or establish any kind of government without a bilateral cooperation from here on out.

I think one of NEC committee was run by one of HUN SAN' son. I read some where on reuters after the election. I hope I did not give you guys the wrong info.

it's only fair.
the CNRP people did not ask for something unreasonable. they only ask for something so basic, investigate, recheck, etc...there's nothing wrong with that. there's nothing unfair about that. why can't the NEC do it? just do what is right and fair? what have the NEC got to fear?

If the losers refuses to go peacefully, let them go violently, I don't think the Cambodian armed forces will shoot at the Khmer people, only Vietnamese military and spies hidden among the Cambodian military dare to shoot at The Khmer people, so Patriotic Cambodian armed force, please protect our Khmer people and Khmer land.
