Cambodia's opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party
has started registering complaints from people who were denied the right
to vote during Sunday's elections.
People are complaining they
were refused a voting ballot despite already registering, while others
say strangers have voted in their place.
Many Cambodians have proven the indelible ink put on their finger to prove they already voted easily washed off.
Officials
from the opposition CNRP say they have already received more than 1,000
complaints on the first day of the exercise, which will continue until
August 10.
Similar events will be held in the provinces where the party believes most of the voting irregularities took place.
The
findings will then be presented to Cambodia's National Election
Commission in the hope of proving the opposition's claims of widespread
electoral fraud.
CNRP's leader Sam Rainsy has given the government
until the end of August to convene a joint inquiry into allegations of
voting irregularities.
The government has so far rejected this proposal.
Prime Minister Hun Sen's Cambodian People's Party claimed victory on election night, announcing it had won 68 seats out of the 123-seat parliament to the opposition's 55, a result CNRP has rejected.
