Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) President Sam Rainsy said Saturday that his party would await the results of Sunday’s election from the National Election Committee (NEC) before deciding how the opposition will respond to what he described as the systematic “unfairness” of the electoral process.
“We will first assess the level of unfairness, the scale of the cheating, before determining our final position,” Mr. Rainsy told a press conference at the CNRP`s office in Phnom Penh’s Meanchey district, which followed a meeting between Mr. Rainsy, CNRP Deputy President Kem Sokha and international election observers.
Mr. Rainsy also said he was certain that the NEC has already decided to award a victory to the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP).
At the press conference, Mr. Sokha once again assured that post-election protests by the CNRP—should the election results be deemed unacceptable—would be peaceful. But, he said that he remained concerned over what would happen if official election results do not reflect people’s actual votes.
