2013 Cambodian general election

The 2013 Cambodian general election was held on July 28, involving voting for members of the National Assembly. The ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP), led by Prime Minister Hun Sen, claimed victory with approximately 68% of the votes, securing 68 of 123 seats. The main opposition, Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), disputed the results, alleging irregularities and voter suppression. Tensions increased as protests and accusations of electoral fraud emerged, but the election proceeded peacefully. The outcome reinforced Hun Sen’s long-standing leadership, though opposition challenges highlighted ongoing concerns over democratic processes and political freedoms in Cambodia.
