The opposition SRP poised to win 11 senate seats

The opposition Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) predicted it is poised to win 11 senate seats, out of the 61-seat senate. If the prediction is right, it would a big win for the SRP, which currently holds only two senate seats.

The SRP claimed that as at 5pm Sunday afternoon, the senate election result is as follow:
1. Region 1 (Phnom Penh), the SRP won 2 seats, the ruling CPP won 4 seats.
2. Region 2 (Kampong Cham), SRP won 2 seats, CPP 6.
3. Region 3 (Kandal), SRP= 1 seat, CPP=4.
4. Region 4 (Battambang, Siem Reap, Banteay Meanchey. Oddar Meanchey, Pailin), SRP=2, CPP=8.
5. Region 5 (Takeo, Kampot, Kep), SRP=1, CPP=6.
6. Region 6 (Prey Veng, Svay Rieng), SRP=1, CPP=6.
7. Region 7 (Kampong Speu, Kampong Chhnang, Koh Kong, Sihanoukville), SRP=1, CPP=7.
8. Region 8 (Kampong thom, Preah Vihear, Stung Treng, Kratie, Rattanakiri, Mondulkiri, SRP=1, CPP=5.)

*If there is no change in the final result, the SRP should have won 11 seats and the CPP won 46 seats. 2 seats will be appointed by the king and the other 2 will be appointed by the parliament.

A victory is when we have a new government for our people. We must push to remove the dictator by election. International communities must equally help the opposition not just by observing but active action.

Even SRP got the exactly number of seats as expected but the news of loosing some voices in several areas give CPP a big moral ground. We can say those loosing voice were bought by the CPP, but it shows that even the hardcore members can be bought.

HAPPY SRP improve their standing. Hey 06:06 AM changing the Government does not mean changing overnight. We need our own peoples to respect laws and have compassion toward each others.

Many CPP also love their peoples and country, but they afraid of people who has the big guns, you know who these peoples are.

700 dollars to buy one vote is affordable for senator candidate who is tycoon in Cambodia. and it is a lot of money for some poor voters. Most of them, especially SRP members USD 700 is a one year earning.

10:35 AM , agreed that is a very large sum of money for a poor Cambodian. If these peoples have any ounce of intelligent they know it us a suicide to let CPP win. Khmer as a nation might in the future will be like CHAMPA KINGDOM.

Even with bribery with a large sum of money, intimidation and threats, many SRP councilors are still very loyal to the SRP. I admire their loyalty to the voters who voted them into office in the first place and their courage for standing firm against threats and intimidation and not selling themselves out to the CPP.

4:48 AM. Many CPP love their country? or love the unlimited money and power?

If CPP loves their country they will educate themselves to do what is right and what is wrong. In the current regime of 32 years in power, they have done nothing right. and we nationalist who cares about the suffering of our nation and our people are paying a price for it. Dare you to prove me wrong.
