Interesting read ...
...............
By Frances Mao
BBC News
A few years ago, Cambodia's ruler launched the most ruthless crackdown of his career to annihilate his opponents.
Facing popular opposition, Hun Sen used the courts to dismantle the political party threatening his rule. Ranks of MPs were thrown out of parliament while the leaders were arrested.
Having crushed his rivals, he cruised to victory six months later at the 2018 election, winning all 125 seats in Cambodia's parliament.
For voters heading to the polls again this Sunday - it's déjà vu with their only alternative banned.
"It's a rigged election because there are no real strong opposition parties," one voter, an aid worker in Phnom Penh, told the BBC.
Hun Sen, now 70, has ruled Cambodia since 1985. A former Khmer Rouge official who defected to Vietnam before the regime's fall, his survivalist grip on power has led to his boast that he is the world's longest-serving prime minister.
For nearly 40 years, he has consolidated power through a network of interests, including the military, police and intelligence groups.
