Cambodia's election: A time for contestation, a time for reconciliation

Well before the election of 28th July 2013, independent opinion polls, not known as pro CPP, gave the ruling CPP as the favorite. Had these opinion polls been biased in favor of the CPP? Likewise, had the opposition CNRP's self proclaimed victory any legitimacy? The opposition's only song is: if I lost, there must be frauds by the CPP with the complicity of the National Election Commission (NEC).
