PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - Cambodian opposition politicians and Buddhist monks urged King Norodom Sihamoni on Friday to delay a new session of parliament after a disputed election win by long-serving Prime Minister Hun Sen.

Lawmakers from the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) say Hun Sen cheated his way to a narrow victory in the July vote. They say they will refuse to attend parliament, due to convene on Monday by royal order, until an independent inquiry is held.
