The NRP is opposed to the amendments to Articles 145 and 146 of the constitution that will lead to a non-universal election for the position of district councils, as well as those for the provincial, municipal and city councils conducted exclusively by commune councilors. In a statement issued on 15 January, the NRP said that it understands that the use of commune councilors to elect district, provincial, municipal and city councils is not regular, and it is not in agreement with the governing rules either. The NRP statement said that it supports the election for these councils, but that they must be conducted in a general election, with the participation of the general public.

You're absolutely right on this one NRP. Yes, the local government officials are elected into their offices by the people that are living in those communes not by the counselors. CPP if you want the Cambodian people to have their voices, you need not to interfere with the local elections. Its a democratic country and the voice of the people are the vision of the younger generation to watch and learn.

CPP, you tactic is too old and everyone should have caught on to your dirty trick. All parties should object to this.
