Phnom Penh: 10 out of 12 political parities submitted their candidate application to complete the July’s national election have been approved by the National Election Committee (NEC).

One of two remaining parties rejected by the NEC is the application of the United People of Cambodia Party. The NEC is still processing the Khmer Democratic Party (KDP).

Approved 10 political parties include the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP), Funcipec Party, Norodom Ranariddh Party, Human Rights Party, Sam Rainsy Party, the Hang Dara Democratic Movement Party, the Social Justice Party, the League for Democracy Party, he Anti-poverty Party and the Khmer Republican Party.

NEC Secretary-General Tep Nytha said that the NEC was supposed to have finished reviewing all of the parties’ candidate application by Monday, but the committee has not finished going over those from the KDP because the party turned in a series of changes an hour after Monday’s 5 pm deadline. The Cambodia Daily was quoted as saying.

123 seats are kept the same previous mandate for new Cambodian National Assembly.
