The ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) said yesterday it has no
intention of amending the Law on the Organization and Functioning of
National Election Committee in the wake of a demand by some political
parties which accused the NEC of no longer being independent after the
dissolution of the main opposition. The National Assembly voted to appoint
former provincial governor Prach Chan as the new chairman of the National
Election Committee (NEC) to replace Sik Bun Hok, who resigned on June 3 due
to health issues.
