Month of campaigning begins for Cambodian election


Yesterday, all political parties in Cambodia started kicking off their campaigning on for the general election next month.

Thousands of party members joined in a long procession including motorbikes and trucks rumbling along the streets and markets in the capital. Traffic was turned to a snail's pace or somewhere is stuck to make way for the procession.

All Eleven parties are taking part on the July 27th election for the 123-seat National Assembly, the lower house of Parliament, with the winner forming a new government to run the country for the next five years.

A total of 8,125,529 Cambodians are registered voters, according to the National Election Committee.

"Time for leadership change has come. Let's change it!" It’s what an opposition party follower always shouted through a bullhorn mounted on a truck making its way through all the streets in PP.

The campaigning ends July 25 to allow for a day of calm before the vote.

I wondered if we could change our new leadership! How is Cambodian’s political situation ganna be? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
