PHNOM PENH: Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Saturday opened his ruling party’s campaign for an election later this month — a poll that has been criticised as a sham after the main opposition party was prevented from running.
The 70-year-old strongman, who has ruled country of 16 million for 38 years, spoke before a crowd in the capital, Phnom Penh. He stood beside his son Hun Manet, who is also a candidate in the July 23 polls and widely tipped as his successor.
