US EditionCambodia’s opposition disqualified from election, appeal fails
- Cambodia's top opposition party, the Candlelight Party, has been barred from participating in July's national elections after the Constitutional Council refused to overturn a previous decision to deny it registration due to a paperwork issue.
- The decision is final and cannot be appealed, leaving the governing Cambodian People's Party as the only significant contender in the polls.
- Cambodia's courts are widely seen as beholden to Prime Minister Hun Sen's government, which has remained in power for decades and is almost unassailable due to its near-total control of the country's institutions and media.
