Crayons were used at some polling stations, the indelible ink was delible, people hindered Cambodian-Vietnamese voters to cast their votes in some districts.
So far, the Cambodia election was neither free nor fair, but mostly peaceful. Now, the clouds disappeared, calming quick tempers.
Comfrel will hold its press conference on election results tomorrow. The opposition party already is convinced: “We won!”
So far, Military Police is holding distance.
