Cambodia's opposition party says it narrowly won Sunday's general election, challenging the ruling party's earlier declaration of victory.

Hours after the poll, PM Hun Sen's ruling party said it won 68 seats in parliament to the opposition's 55.

But opposition leader Sam Rainsy said the result was 63-60 in his favour, and called for an independent commission to investigate poll irregularities.

Official poll results are not expected until mid-August.
