• Hun Sen, who has been at the helm of the Cambodian government since 1985, won a “landslide” general election victory on July 23.
• The five seats won by the royalist Funcinpec party are claimed to be (token) evidence of this.
• Hun Sen himself served with the Khmer Rouge in the early years of the regime, later fleeing to Vietnam.
• He consolidated his position with a coup in 1997, and his CPP party has won every subsequent election.

Dealing with the opposition

• In 2013, controversy over the results evolved into a boycott of Cambodia’s elected national assembly (the lower house of the bicameral parliament).
• Political and social debate and opposition were, however, heavily restricted in the run-up to the 2017 local and 2018 national elections.
• Electoral law amendments restricted the role of Rainsy and curtailed political opposition.
• This time, the main opposition came from the Candlelight Party (drawing in part on elements of the former CNRP), which achieved 22%.
• Not taking any chances, political rhetoric from the CPP continued to highlight the dangers of voting for opposition parties, and led to Facebook (a widely used platform in Cambodia) considering banning Hun Sen for a video threatening to beat up opposition figures.

A new generation?

• Hun Sen has indicated that the transfer of power is part of his plan for continuing peace, stability and development.
• He will retain leadership of the CPP and remain a lawmaker, assuming leadership of the Senate (upper house) when the incumbent retires.
• The true test of stability in a democracy is, arguably, continuity during a transition of leadership and change of governing party.
