Phnom Penh (FN), June 8 – Royal Palace's press release on Friday confirmed that the Royal Message: “Urging People to Go to Vote” is genuine and made without threats.

His Majesty added the July’s election is a universal, free, fair, just, equal, and confidential election in accordance with the multiparty liberal democracy; and that no threats nor bullies will happen on anyone or any political party.
