The ruling Cambodia People’s Party (CPP) on Monday rejected an
opposition proposal to revamp the country’s electoral body as they met for a
third round of talks aimed at breaking a seven-month political deadlock
following disputed polls. Opposition – Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP)
said in a statement that the CPP was unwilling to accept its demand for a rapid
restructure of the government-appointed National Election Commission (NEC),
which oversees the country’s polls and which critics have said lacks
independence. At the end of the talks, the two parties failed to emerge with a
joint statement as they did in their previous two meetings aimed at breaking a
political deadlock following the July 28, 2013 elections.
