"Rainsy's demand is unacceptable, as it violates the law," the deputy secretary-general reiterated.

Ballots recounting is possible unless a political party submitted a complaint to commune commision for election concerning serious irregularities by a day after the preliminary result announced, which was 30 July 2018.
