Phnom Penh (FN), June 13 - The National Election Committee (NEC) announced the final election recount results for Svay Rieng.

The Cambodia People's Party (CPP) won 2 more votes than Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP).

The preliminary results on June 4, 2017 put the CPP ahead with 7 more ballots than the CNRP.

The CNRP was not happy with the preliminary results and asked NEC to reconsider 20 ballots initially deemed invalid in Svay Rieng's Doung Commune, Romeas Hek district.

After heated arguments between CPP and CNRP representatives, the NEC determined the winner of the Svay Rieng province Commune election to be the CPP.
