Khieu Kanharith, government spokesman and minister on Information, was quoted by The Cambodia Daily as saying that Hun Manet, Hun Sen’s eldest son, will not run for a political seat during the upcoming 2008 general election. Last November, Hun Sen mentioned that his son would be running for a seat at the National Assembly. CPP MP Cheam Yeap also confirmed that Hun Manet is currently not listed on the CPP candidates list. Eng Chhai Eang, SRP Secretary-general, was also quoted by The Cambodia Daily as saying that Hun Manet should be in politics, because being from a new-generation, “he is better educated than the old people who have little education. He is better than the old people who are influenced by the dictatorship.”
