The United States voiced concern on Monday about reports of
irregularities in Cambodia's weekend elections and called for a credible
investigation.
"We urge all parties and their supporters to continue to act in an
orderly and peaceful manner in the post-election period," State
Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
The Cambodian opposition rejected the results of the polls even
though it made significant gains, saying it had been robbed of victory
over strongman Premier Hun Sen.
"We are concerned by numerous reported irregularities in the
electoral process," Psaki said, adding that Washington had long called
on Phnom Penh "to address systemic flaws such as problems in the voter
registry and unequal access to the media."
"We call for a transparent and full investigation of all credible reports of irregularities," Psaki told reporters.
It was the worst election result for Cambodia's ruling party since
1998, after the opposition was emboldened by the return from exile of
its leader Sam Rainsy, even though he was barred from running.
Hun Sen's Cambodian People's Party (CPP) announced late Sunday it had
taken an estimated 68 out of the 123 seats in the lower house, against
an increased 55 for the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP).
"We believe that, of course, the Cambodian people should have confidence in the outcome of the election," Psaki added.អំពើហិង្សាទាក់ទងនឹងភាពមិនប្រក្រតីក្នុងការបោះឆ្នោតនៅកម្ពុជាបាន
