The ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) has claimed a landslide victory in Sunday’s general election.
“We have won a landslide victory in this election, but we have not yet calculated the number of seats we have gained. This truly reflects people’s confidence in the CPP’s leadership,” CPP spokesman Sok Eysan said.
A total of 18 political parties contested the election, which was held once every five years to elect 125 lawmakers for the National Assembly.
The National Election Committee was still counting results from across the country on Sunday evening, as official ones will be released on Aug. 9.
Polls closed with a turnout of 84% according to the election committee, with 8.1 million people voting in the election.
Sunday’s election was the country’s seventh since 1993.
In the previous general election held in 2018, the CPP won all 125 seats in the National Assembly.
