Since the opening of the polling station, at 7:00AM, on this Sunday 27 July, the outgoing prime minister came to vote at this station located at a school in Takhmao, Kandal province, not too far from his official residence.

Dressed for the occasion in a government uniform, gold rim glasses on his nose, Hun Sen wanted to project an image of a simple citizen coming to cast his ballot. For once, there was no siren sound, no bodyguards in flashy uniform, Hun Sen tried to be discrete.

Accompanied by his wife, his father and some high ranking government officials, Hun Sen, who, in the past month, limited his public appearance during the election campaign, attracted the attention of reporters who came in large number to see him vote.

In front of polling office, several dozens of voters were lining up. At is arrival, the chief of the Provincial Election Committee (PEC) invited him to vote by cutting the line in front of everybody else. Hun Sen saluted the people present before entering the polling office. After he dropped his ballot in the box, under the buzzing of flashlights from photographers, he refused to give any declaration, “in respect of the rule set by the National Election Committee (NEC), which prohibited all propaganda inside the polling station, I will not make any comment,” Hun Sen said.

The most well known CPP candidate preferred talking about the satisfying situation of the election process: “Up to now, the situation of this election is rather satisfactory. I hope that between now and the end of the ballot casting, the general atmosphere will remain good,” he declared before leaving the polling office.

Hun Sen, l'inusable petit commandant khmer rouge.
Depuis qu'il a pris les rênes du pouvoir en 1985, l'homme fort du Cambodge a réussi à construire un système qui le rend incontournable.

In Cambodia, the thugs with guns will always win, and don't ask fr a fairness.

It is the monkeys time. Female monkey believes in red color is a lucky color, how ugly her face is the red color shiny to others.

3:31 AM Yes I am waiting to see how much land he ceded to Youn and Siam.

Do you know Khmer King who built the Hindu Temples said "I am a Khmer Hindu King I built my Hindu Temples in my empire and so all the land surrounding my Temple belongs to the Temple. I will put a curse on who dares to divide my land and my Hindu Temple apart that all of you and your children will suffer for a thousand years until you put al my belonging back as one piece."
