The National Election Committee (NEC) has accused election watchdog Committee for Free and Fair Elections in Cambodia (Comfrel) of formulating its report on the Commune Election in favour of an opposition party, claiming that key findings were an attempt to exculpate Candlelight Party vice-president Son Chhay from defamation lawsuits. However, Comfrel denied the accusation from NEC, noting that the report reflected the actual situation during the Commune Election period. The U.N.’s human rights envoy to Cambodia raised concerns about Cambodia’s upcoming national election, recalling the “unfair” dissolution of the political opposition and drawing attention to ongoing mass trials.
