Four political parties, the CPP, the Khmer Will Party, the Nation Power Party, and the royalist Funcinpec Party, took part in the Senate election for the fifth legislative term on February 25. The CPP received 55 seats and the Khmer Will Party won three seats while the Nation Power Party and the Funcinpec Party did not earn any seat.
The CPP issued a statement on Tuesday recognizing the official results of the election.
NEC spokesman Hang Puthea said the election results were announced earlier than expected because there were no complaints about the temporary election results at the NEC or the Constitutional Council of Cambodia.
