The Cambodian People’s Party is expected to sweep all 125 Parliamentary races, leading to another term in office for Han Sen, who has rules as the country’s prime minister since 1998, the BBC reports. The election was more-or-less wrapped up in May when the leading opposition party, the Candlelight Party, was banned from the nation. In March, Sen jailed his leading opponent, Kem Sohka.
The sweep is not unprecedented in Cambodian history: it was shockingly done by the CPP in the last national elections in 2018, when all credible opposition parties were outlawed or their leaders jailed.
