"Hun Sen's Total Control: Cambodia's Rigged Election Crisis"

Cambodia is facing a rigged election as Prime Minister Hun Sen extends his total control over the country. Hun Sen, who has ruled Cambodia since 1985, has used the courts to dismantle the political party threatening his rule and has seen off opponents by co-opting, jailing, exiling, or sidelining them. The upcoming election has no real strong opposition parties, leading to a lack of representative voices in parliament. Cambodia, once set up to be a democracy, is now considered an authoritarian one-party state. Critics fear the continuation of dynastic rule as Hun Sen plans to hand over power to his son.
