Ruling Party Maintains Narrow Lead in Cambodian Vote
In Cambodia the ruling Cambodian People's Party led in nine of twenty one provinces while the opposition tracked in seven as UN counted ballots slowly. Results were partial 10 to 50 percent by province and six provinces yielded none. UN spokesman Eric Fair lacked a nationwide tally from the six day election ending Friday. The ruling party urged no further releases citing irregularities such as broken seals on ballot boxes. Party officials said they would discuss with the UN and warned that releasing results now could pose problems. Some polling stations reported minor problems.
