In the month long election campaign which will start on 26 June for the general election, it is expected that the ruling CPP will win this election. This morning, during the election campaign held in Phnom Penh, opposition leader Sam Rainsy told his supporters in front the park facing Wat Botum pagoda, that when he will win the election, his government will lower the price of goods, and he will resolve the economic problems plaguing Cambodia. Sam Rainsy told his supporters during the parade that he promises to confiscate the lands from the rich and powerful who grabbed lands from the people, and return them back to their rightful owners. He called on the voters to vote for the Sam Rainsy Party in order to lower the price of gasoline, increase the salary for civil servants. Sam Rainsy’s declaration to lower the price of gasoline, and increase the salary of civil servants was met by exploding sound of applause.
