AYN Observed the KYA Election Process

AYN representatives were requested to serve as one of the international panel of observer of the KYA Elections of officers. From the presentation of the candidates agenda and platforms to the procedure of actual voting. Together with representative from Laos and various NGO's in Cambodia we checked all the procedural aspects of the election and look for something that are not acceptable on the international standard.

We also joined in checking and verifying all the ballots and making sure that they are all authenticated and properly labelled which will ensure proper checking of its content.

Our overall assessment on the election is indeed very successful and very well organized. The election was the best example of transparency and credibility. At the same time I hope that all the governmnt as well will follow it, in our country that kind of well organized election was indeed very impossible. But to see that young people like them , like KYA who can do it give us a great hope tat it is possible. The adage walk your talk was proven possible and real in this election process that KYA did. Congratulation to a job well done
