Criticism

The opposition Cambodian National Rescue Party (CNRP) accused the NEC of committing corruption and affiliated with the ruling Cambodian People's Party. In November 2017, Kuoy Bunroeun, Rong Chhun and Te Manirong of the NEC resigned in protest against the dissolution of the CNRP and the reassignment of its parliamentary seats to minor parties.[2]
