Cambodia's opposition Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) said yesterday it would boycott the opening of parliament due later this month, complaining that it had been denied a vote recount in two closely contested provinces.
Official results in July's general election have handed victory to the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) of Prime Minister Hun Sen, a former Khmer Rouge soldier who has been in charge for nearly 20 years.
However, the SRP said it had been poorly served by the war-scarred southeast Asian kingdom's National Election Commission (NEC) and by a complaints procedure which did not give them the recount they had wanted.
