The National Election Committee (NEC) has defended its decision to reject and delete the names of 115 candidates from three opposition parties who were registered to contest in the June 5 Commune Election, saying the move was accurate, fair and transparent. The National Election Committee (NEC) has removed a total of 150 commune council candidates from the Candlelight Party ahead of the June election, prompting an outcry from party officials. The opposition Candlelight Party has been entirely stripped of candidates in 11 communes. CANDIDATES of the Candlelight Party (CP) are disappointed with the decision of the National Election Committee (NEC) to remove their names from the list of candidates. The integrity and neutrality of NEC is being questioned by some opposition leaders of being partial to the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP).
