- What will observing do, if changes are not in affect? Will NEC dares to give the opposition party fair and free election.

eg. CPP uses national budget to promote campaign. SRP hardly have a dime. COMFREL also found that many of the CPP ministeries and associates have been buying votes using powers and threats as well as states property to promote unlawful acts.

Will this observers dares to promote and enforce such regulation, everyone knows CPP owns Cambodia and SRP are outlaws with no power or authority.
