Pailin, Sihanoukville and Kep municipalities have been re-designated as Cambodia's newest provinces, English-Khmer language newspaper the Cambodia Daily on Thursday quoted recent Royal Decrees as saying.
Cambodia now has 23 provinces in all with one municipality, namely Phnom Penh, it said.
Earlier reports in local media said that the re-designation aimed at facilitating the forthcoming Commune Councils Election this year, or the local poll of the kingdom, to elect village and commune heads.
With the title of province, the people in these three areas can enjoy wider political participation, said local media.
The election will start on May 17.
