Four parties have registered themselves with the National Election Committee (NEC) to participate in the upcoming local poll of Cambodia, Chinese- language daily newspaper the Commercial News said on Sunday.
The major ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP), the major opposition Sam Rainsy Party (SRP), the co-ruling Funcinpec Party and the opposition Norodom Ranariddh Party (NRP) were the first batch of political forces ready to join the commune councils election, the paper quoted a NEC press release as saying.
Dozens of other small parties haven't responded yet.
The deadline for registration with NEC is March 2 and altogether 193 polling offices have been set all over the country to serve the process.
On May 17, Cambodia will hold its election for positions of district, provincial and municipal councils as part of the government's drive to transfer more decision-making powers to the local level.
The government has planned to deploy 27,133 police forces nationwide to safeguard the election and guarantee safety and order.
