King Norodom Sihamoni yesterday urged Cambodians to exercise their right to vote in the upcoming commune elections without fear of external pressure. In a royal message signed on February 20 but released yesterday, he reassured the public that they will be able to cast their votes in confidence and should therefore fear no repercussions.
 

“The elections on June 4, 2017, are a secret, democratic electoral process so please do not worry about pressure or threats from bullies from any person or party,” the royal address read. “All Cambodians, please utilize your right to vote and do so according to your conscience and vote for the candidate you’re confident in from any of the political parties.”
 

Political analyst Meas Ny said the royal address was in line with the king’s responsibility as the head of state in order to lead Cambodia towards holding free and fair elections. “I was surprised. This is the first time which he [the king] has appealed like this,” he said.
