More than 100 people have applied to lead the National Election Committee’s secretariat, with the deadline set to close today.
Twenty-one
people have thrown their hats in the ring to become the body’s
secretary general, while 84 also applied for the four deputy secretary
general slots, said NEC spokesman Hang Puthea.
The
jobs are being publicly advertised for the first time in the Kingdom’s
history after the NEC was reformed in April to become bipartisan.
Amid
the flurry of last-minute applicants for the top job, was Kim Chhorn, a
senior member of election watchdog Comfrel, Putha said.
Other
contenders already revealed include the director of the NGO Buddhism
for Development, Heng Monychenda; Ny Chakrya, head of investigations at
rights group Adhoc; and Tep Nytha, the current secretary-general.
Puthea
said he was surprised by the large response and hopeful the right
candidate could be found. “We need a strong person who can help realise
the goals of the NEC,” he said.
