Cambodia's ruling party claims landslide win in one-sided election
The contest was effectively a one-horse race, with Hun Sen’s Cambodian People’s Party , a political behemoth with a vast war chest, facing no viable opponent after a ruthless, years-long crackdown on its rivals. Polls closed with a turnout of 84% according to the election committee, with 8.1 million people voting in a much-criticized contest between CPP and 17 mostly obscure parties, none of which won seats in the last election in 2018.
Self-styled strongman Hun Sen, who has ruled Cambodia for 38 years, had brushed off all Western concern about the election’s credibility, determined to prevent any obstacle in his carefully calibrated transition to his anointed successor and eldest son, Hun Manet. No timeframe had been given for the handover until Thursday, when Hun Sen signalled his son “could be” prime minister next month, depending on “whether Hun Manet will be able to do it or not”.
