Cambodian king appoints Hun Sen’s son as new PM FMTNews FMTWorld
Hun Manet was effectively given the post from his father, Hun Sen, who ruled Cambodia for nearly four decades.
The polls were widely decried as a sham after the main opposition challenger, the Candlelight Party, was barred from running over a technicality, with the ruling Cambodian People’s Party winning all but five seats in the 125-member lower house. The incoming government will usher in a crop of young ministers – with some taking posts vacated by their fathers.
While groomed for the position for years, the eldest son of Cambodia’s iron-fisted ruler remains untested in the political arena, analysts say.
