Cambodia’s National Election Committee (NEC) recently announced that 9.67 million voters were eligible to cast their votes this Sunday to elect representatives for the country’s 123-seat National Assembly.

The ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) led by Prime Minister Hun Sen has retained power since 1998.

In the 2008 general election, CPP secured a huge victory by winning 90 seats, while the opposition party, the Cambodian National Rescue Party (CNRP), won 29 seats.
