Bangkok, May 16 (EFE).- Cambodia’s government on Tuesday came under international fire after the only credible challenger to the ruling party of strongman Prime Minister Hun Sen was disqualified from contesting the upcoming general election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, the National Election Committee (NEC) barred the opposition Candlelight Party from registering for the July 23 polls, saying it failed to provide the necessary documents. It was the only party out of 19 prevented from registering, and intends to appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n

The party was reportedly asked to provide original registration documents from the interior ministry, which it said had been taken in a 2017 raid of the headquarters of its predecessors, the Cambodian National Rescue Party (CNRP). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, the Asian Network for Free Elections (Anfrel) expressed its \u201cdeep concern\u201d over the NEC\u2019s move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe disqualification of the Candlelight Party on the grounds of lacking the necessary paperwork is both unjust and disproportionate. It is essential to consider the circumstances under which the original party registration certificate was lost during police raids on the CNRP\u2019s headquarters in 2017,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It added that the fact the party was able to run in the local commune elections last year \u201cexposes the arbitrary and politically motivated nature of this disqualification.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights (APHR) also condemned the Cambodian government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Hun Sen regime once again shows its utter disdain for the principles of democracy and unwillingness to compete in free and fair elections,\u201d APHR board member and former Thai minister of foreign affairs Kasit Piromya said Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf it wants the world to take the results of the July elections seriously, the Cambodian government must halt all efforts to hamstring its opponents and instead ensure a space for all parties to participate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overnight, the European Union also issued a statement saying the refusal of the NEC to register the party \u201cis another worrying sign of shrinking space for political parties to compete\u201d in the upcoming polls, and that it \u201cstrongly objects to the decision (\u2026) which adds to depriving Cambodia\u2019s citizens of the right to choose their representatives.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n

In Cambodia, Australia\u2019s Ambassador Justin Whyatt on Tuesday said that Canberra was \u201cdeeply concerned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMulti-party democracy requires there to be political space, laws and institutions that allow political parties to participate and compete fairly on election day. Cambodian democracy is not served by this development,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NEC\u2019s move is reminiscent of the Supreme Court\u2019s 2017 dissolution of the popular main opposition party, the CNRP, ahead of the last general election, which spurred most of the CNRP\u2019s senior members to flee into exile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, Hun Sen\u2019s Cambodian People\u2019s Party subsequently won all available parliamentary seats, effectively making the country a one-party state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Candlelight Party was created last year and made up largely of former members of the CNRP, becoming the country’s main opposition force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hun Sen, 70, has lashed out on multiple occasions against Candlelight leaders, and in January threatened to send some to jail for denouncing threats and harassment by his party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has ruled the country with an iron fist for 38 years, now one of the world\u2019s longest-serving leaders. At the last election in 2018 he said he would remain in office for two more terms, taking him to 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, Hun Sen has been positioning his eldest son, army chief Hun Manet, to take the top job, and in 2021 explicitly declared his support for Hun Manet to succeed him as Cambodia\u2019s leader \u201cthrough elections.\u201d EFE <\/p>\n\n\n\n
