Cambodia: Hun Sen, elected senator, does not let go of the reins of power. Members of Cambodia's lower house and local councilors voted this Sunday, February 25, to elect senators.
Hun Sen running under the banner of his eldest son's ruling party, won a seat and secured the top post in the upper house. The party will appoint the former prime minister as Senate president in April, a role that allows him to act as head of state when the king is abroad.
