According to the committee,
6,956,900 out of 8,380,217 potential voters, or 83.02 percent of the voting
population, cast their ballots in the election.
The CPP received 4,889,113 votes, or 76.85 percent, of valid votes. The
remaining votes were shared among other 19 parties but none of them won seats
in the National Assembly.
This is the first time the CPP has swept up all seats in the parliament since
the election in 1993, thus opening up opportunities for the Party to make major
decisions and policies for the country over the next five years.
Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen said on August 8 that the sixth National
Assembly will convene on September 5 under the chair of King Norodom
Sihamoni.
The legislative body is scheduled to cast votes of confidence to establish the
sixth Government on September 6. The new Government will meet for the first
time a day later.
