Former Prime Minister Hun Sen, who remains president of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP), has welcomed former opposition leadership member Nhim Kim Nhol into the fold of the CPP.
The ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) made a step forward in nominating candidates for the upcoming Senate Election, by dropping those who have become too old with those who have proven their mettle when serving in various ministries and state institutions. The top three in the current senate leadership, Senate President Say Chhum, first-vice president Sim Ka and second-vice president Tep Ngorn, were omitted from the new candidate list. Hun Sen replaces the Say Chhum.
