Hun Manet, commander of the Royal Cambodian Army and eldest son of Prime Minister Hun Sen, shows his finger after he cast his vote at a polling station in Phnom Penh on July 23, 2023. AFPPIX: Hun Manet was appointed Cambodia's new leader by the king on Monday, after having effectively been given the post from his father who ruled for nearly four decades.
On Monday, following a request from Hun Sen, King Norodom Sihamoni issued a royal decree stating that he “appoints Dr. Hun Manet as the prime minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia for the 7th mandate of the parliament”. While insisting he would not interfere with his son's rule, Hun Sen has also promised Cambodians that he will continue to dominate the country's politics.Having come to power in 1985, Hun Sen helped modernise a country devastated by civil war and genocide, although critics say his rule has also been marked by environmental destruction, entrenched graft and the elimination of nearly all political rivals.
He also warned that should Hun Manet's life be seriously endangered, he would return as prime minister.
