PHNOM PENH (Cambodia Herald) - A senior government official denied Wednesday opposition charges that the absence of opposition leader Sam Rainsy means that next year's elections won't be free and fair.
Speaking at a news conference, Keo Ramy, a member of the Press and Quick Reaction Unit at the Office of the Council of Ministers, said the elections would be conducted as usual.
He said Sam Rainsy, who is in exile abroad, did not have political rights since he had been convicted of criminal offenses and sentenced.
Keo Remy dismissed attempts by the Sam Rainsy and Human Rights parties to get the United States to intervene.
He also rejected opposition demands to reform the National Election Committee and said the opposition's proposed Democratic Movement for National Rescue posed no threats to the ruling Cambodian People’s Party.
