Four months to the election, Prime minister Hun Sen declared that he wants free, fair and transparent election which will take place in a quiet atmosphere. “Violence would harm the image of the Cambodian government,” he said during a visit to the Royal University of Agriculture on Thursday 06 March. “The situation must not degenerate, like it was in Kenya.” Hun Sen also said that he is ready to quit his position should he lose the election. “One must recognize the election results. If I were not elected, I would ask the winner to form a new government, and I would transfer the power to him, as well as to the Council of Ministers,” Hun Sen explained.
