On Tuesday 2nd of September at 2pm, the General Secretary of the National Election Committee, Tep Nitha, announced the official results of the 27th of July elections. This news was broadcasted during a television speech.

The CPP comes in first with 90 seats, before the SRP 26, the HRP 3. The NRP and Funcinpec close the ranks with two elected representatives each. These numbers comply with the partial results which were communicated for several days already, as well by the NEC as by different NGO’s in charge of observing the election process. The new Assembly will include 20 women. The most senior member of the hemicycle is Chea Soth, 80 years old, CPP delegate. He’ll thus preside the first session on the 25th of September.
