Cambodians Voting in General Elections Cambodians are voting Sunday in general elections that are expected to extend Prime Minister Hun Sen`s 28-year rule. Opposition leader Sam Rainsy alleges the long-time ruler is running an unfair vote. Sam Rainsy and his Cambodia National Rescue Party say the prime minister`s Cambodian People`s Party is afraid of the opposition`s growing popularity. He accuses the government of setting up a system that ensures Hun Sen of winning another term. The CPP denies the allegations of fraud and predicts a landslide win. It credits the prime minister with bringing economic prosperity to Cambodia after decades of war, chaos, and mass murder. Sam Rainsy returned to Cambodia from self-imposed exile July 19 after Hun Sen arranged to pardon him for a series of crimes. Sam Rainsy said his convictions were politically motivated. More than 9.6 million people are registered to vote in the elections. At least one-third are under the age of 30. __________________________________________________________________ [1]http://www.voanews.com/content/cambodians-voting-in-general-election s/1711487.html References 1. http://www.voanews.com/content/cambodians-voting-in-general-elections/1711487.html
