Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen extended his more-than-three-decade run in power, easily winning a boycotted election on Sunday after he disbanded the main opposition party last year.
Khieu Kanharith, the government’s top spokesman, told the Associated Press that the ruling Cambodian People’s Party won at least 70 percent of the vote. The results were never in doubt after Hun Sen moved to quash political dissent following a narrow election win in 2013, when the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) nearly won the popular vote.
