Local & Regional Election Cambodia 2018

Classification: legitimate

On 29 July 2018, Cambodia held general elections to elect 125 members of the National Assembly, the lower house of the Parliament of Cambodia. Due to the fact that the Cambodian authorities banned the main opposition party in 2017, Western states declined to send any observers to monitor the general elections.
