Cambodia's opposition leader Sam Rainsy called on the United Nations on Monday to help resolve the country's disputed election, in order to protect "the victory" of the people.
PHNOM PENH: Cambodia's opposition leader Sam Rainsy called on the United Nations on Monday to help resolve the country's disputed election, in order to protect "the victory" of the people.
The nation has been stuck in a political impasse since Premier Hun Sen's long-ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) claimed it had won last month's poll -- one of the most hotly contested votes seen in the country.
Rainsy, who returned from self-imposed exile to lead the opposition after receiving a surprise pre-election royal pardon, has claimed his Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) actually won the July 28 poll.
"Tomorrow we will hold a big rally, to demand the UN comes and resolves the election problem in order to protect the victory of the Cambodian people," Rainsy told a small rally in the capital Phnom Penh.
The CPP said it had secured an estimated 68 of the 123 lower house seats, with CNRP taking 55.
But the result -- marking the lowest support for Hun Sen's party since 1998 -- has been rejected by the opposition, who claim widespread voting irregularities.
Rainsy has said his party won a majority of 63 seats and has vowed to prevent the CPP from "stealing victory".

The official result is not expected until later this month.
Rainsy's CNRP on Saturday agreed to work with the CPP and the National Election Committee to set up a joint committee to probe alleged election fraud.
But Rainsy has since said his party will not be involved in the process until the UN is allowed to referee the investigation, a level of involvement rejected by the government and the NEC.
They say the international body can only act as an observer.
"We do not trust NEC at all. We will join the investigation only when the UN comes," Rainsy told reporters.
On Friday, the UN said that disputes over the election must be "adjudicated fairly" but added it had not yet been asked to join any enquiry.
The United States also urged a probe into alleged misconduct but said the opposition gains marked a positive step toward democracy.
Hun Sen -- who has been in power for 28 years -- has welcomed a probe but has also vowed to establish a government under his leadership if the opposition refuses to join parliament.
The 60-year-old former Khmer Rouge cadre, who defected from the murderous regime, has vowed to rule until he is 74.

Why, Why, Why, so far, Mr Sam Rainsy has not hit back to this incendiary article that could damage his international image?

As a renowned politician, he should have an effective communication teamwork to promote him and his party, and retort quickly to the press.

Take Sihanouk as a model and see how he efficiently reacted to the press that criticised him.

During the campaigning for yesterday’s election, much attention was given to the anti-Vietnamese rhetoric of opposition leader Sam Rainsy and his deputy Kem Sokha.

They both spewed equally shocking racist sentiments, using the expletive term “yuon” to refer to Vietnamese people and even alleging that the Tuol Sleng torture centre never existed but was invented by Vietnam.

Presumably, then, the conviction of Duch, the centre’s commander, and the cases now being investigated by the United Nations tribunal, are all without foundation.

Really, it defies comprehension.

Prime Minister Hun Sen has many faults, from blatant nepotism to media coercion to crudely threatening that if he lost civil war would result.

But he has not descended to spouting the kind of racist bile that issued from Rainsy and his team and which seems to be a key part of their party’s ideology.

Yes, the opposition has been treated unfairly, but that is hardly unusual in this region... (continuation)

You can smile now Mr Sam Rainsy. But if you don't act right now it will be late. We are not in a democratic country. Despots never leave their power without bloodshed
