Hun Sen votes as polls open in one-sided Cambodia election

On Sunday, Hun Sen cast his ballot in the capital Phnom Penh shortly after polling stations opened. Cambodians voted in an election that longtime leader Hun Sen is all but guaranteed to win as he looks to secure his legacy by handing the reins to his eldest son. His Cambodian People's Party (CPP) is likely to retain all 125 seats in the lower house.

The only serious opposition party was disqualified on a technicality in the runup to the polls and it will be a surprise if any of the 17 other small, poorly funded parties win seats. More than 9.7 million people are registered to vote in the seventh election.
