PHNOM PENH, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- The Cambodian government plans to deploy 27,133 police forces to safeguard the commune councils election in all its towns, districts, cities and provinces in May, national media said on Friday.
The deployment aims to guarantee safety and order of the election, the state-run Television Kampuchea quoted Sar Kheng (pictured), Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, as saying.
"We want the election process to be free, fair and with justice," he added.
On May 17, Cambodia will hold its nationwide election for positions on district, provincial and municipal councils as part of the government's drive to transfer more decision-making powers to the local level.
