Cambodia holds lopsided election before historic transfer of power
Phnom Penh | Cambodians voted on Sunday in a one-sided election certain to prolong the ruling party’s dominance of politics, clearing the path for a historic leadership transition and the end of the reign of one of the world’s longest-serving premiers.
The contest is effectively a one-horse race, with Prime Minister 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.
