🇰🇭 Cambodia PM's party claims landslide election win
The ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) declared a landslide victory in an election on Sunday.
The CPP was leading in ballot counting late on Sunday, with a turnout of 84%, according to the election committee, with 8.1 million people voting in a lopsided contest between the CPP and 17 mostly obscure parties.
Hun Sen, who has ruled Cambodia for 38 years, had brushed off Western concern about the election's credibility, determined to prevent any obstacle in his carefully calibrated transition to his anointed successor and eldest son, Hun Manet.

🇺🇸🇰🇭 US pauses some aid, imposes visa bans after Cambodia election
The United States said it was pausing some foreign assistance programs in Cambodia and imposing visa bans on individuals it says undermined democracy after the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) declared a landslide victory in elections.
State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a statement that Washington was "troubled" that the elections, in which Prime Minister Hun Sen's CPP faced no viable opponent were "neither free nor fair."
Miller called on Cambodian authorities to restore multi-party democracy, end politically motivated trials, and allow independent media to operate without interference in order to "improve the country’s international standing."
