Voters here go to the polls today in local elections to decide on candidates and ballot measures.
Official nominations will be open from the 10th until the 17 April, while voting will be conducted from 14 to 28 June. Via the Seattle Times , Associated Press on 31 March reported that the government here began an investigation today into a grenade attack that killed 16 people and wounded 118 in an apparent attempt to assassinate an opposition leader. Opposition leader Sam Rainsy has blamed his enemy, Second Prime Minister Hun Sen, for orchestrating the attack to try to neutralize the opposition. Hun Sen is leader of the formerly communist Cambodian People's Party. Next year's elections are the first vote since 1993.
