Results of the Commune/Sangkat Council Elections 2012: further efforts required to achieve quantitative and qualitative female representation in politics in Cambodia
The results of the Commune/Sangkat Elections, which took place on 3 June 2012, were released on 24 June 2012 by the National Election Committee (“NEC”). Women were elected to 2,038 seats, 17.78% of the total number of seats (11,459). While this does mark an improvement from the 2007 elections, where women won 14.64% of seats, the increase in representation is minor and a far cry from the Cambodian Millennium Development Goals (“CMDG”) of the Royal Government of Cambodia’s (“RGC”) target 25% of women’s representation in commune councils by 2015.1 Furthermore, the positions women were elected to were overwhelmingly Member seats with 1,590 of those elected, with only 164 of the women voted in being elected to Second Deputy; 189 to First Deputy; and a very minimal 95 to the most senior seat in the Councils, that of Commune Chief.
