PHNOM PENH, July 29 (Xinhua) -- Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh
Hasina on Monday expressed her congratulations to Cambodian Prime
Minister Hun Sen on the victory of the Cambodian People's Party (CPP) in
the parliamentary polls on Sunday.
"On behalf of the government and the people of Bangladesh and on my own behalf, it is my great pleasure to convey heartiest felicitations on your party's resounding victory in the National Assembly elections," she said in a congratulatory message that was released to the media by Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"I firmly believe the trust and confidence reposed upon you by the Cambodian people bears testimony to your dynamic leadership and commitment to democracy," she said.
Bangladesh and Cambodia enjoyed excellent bilateral ties based on long-standing friendship and cooperation.
The ruling CPP of longtime Prime Minister Hun Sen announced a victory in the Sunday's general election.
"According to the preliminary results, the CPP won an absolute majority seats in the poll so that the party has enough seats to prepare the government for the fifth legislature of the National Assembly," the party's statement said.
Khieu Kanharith, spokesman for the government and the CPP, told Xinhua on Sunday that the preliminary results showed that the CPP gained 68 seats and the main opposition Cambodian National Rescue Party (CNRP) got the remaining 55 seats in the poll.
Despite winning the victory, the ruling CPP of Hun Sen saw a remarkable decline in the numbers of seats it attained. In the last elections in 2008, the party won up to 90 seats out of the 123 seats in parliament.
While the opposition party saw a sharp increase in the numbers of seats from only 29 seats in the elections in 2008.
However, the CNRP on Monday rejected the election results, claiming "serious irregularities".
"The CNRP don't accept the election results as indicated by the National Election Committee or by some political parties because there are too many irregularities, and the results do not reflect the will of people," the party's president Sam Rainsy told a press conference. "The party calls for the establishment of a joint committee in order to investigate the irregularities such as vote counting and duplicated names of voters."
Prime Minister Hun Sen, who has been in power for 28 years, will extend his power for another five years through the Sunday's victory.
According to the constitution, the first session of the new National Assembly will be convened no later than 60 days after the election.
