PHNOM PENH : Vote counting got under way Sunday in Cambodia's general election, which long-time leader Hun Sen is all but guaranteed to win as he looks to secure his legacy by handing the reins to his eldest son. The 70-year-old former Khmer Rouge cadre has ruled since 1985 and faced no real contest in the poll, with opposition parties banned, challengers forced to flee and freedom of expression stifled. His Cambodian People's Party (CPP) is expected to retain all 125 seats in the lower house, prolonging his grip on power and paving the way for a dynastic succession some critics have compared to North Korean politics.
