The US-based International Republican Institute (IRI) released its survey indicating that the Cambodian government led by the current ruling CPP party is moving in the right direction. Support for the popularity of the CPP government has increased up to 79%. However, the IRI survey was criticized by the SRP as being imperfect.
The IRI conducted its survey between 31 July to 26 August 2009. The results of the survey were not made available by the IRI itself, but it was publicly announced by Hun Xen in the morning of 12 January 2009 instead.
During a ceremony for the distribution of diplomas to students in Phnom Penh, Hun Xen pulled out a paper showing the results of the IRI survey to read. He indicated that the IRI’s survey question was: “Is the leadership of the Cambodian government moving in the right or wrong direction.” The results indicated 79% of the people surveyed indicated that the government is moving in the right direction.
