The Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) held a protest a day after the official results of the 2008 Cambodian National Elections were released siting numerous cases of fraud, intimidation and vote buying by the Cambodian Peoples Party (CPP). About 300 supporters fared rain and mud to protest the election results. The Sam Rainsy Party won 21% of the vote while the CPP won over 58% (statistics by the Committee for Free and Fair Elections).
