JAKARTA -- In contrast to Malaysia's electoral earthquake in May, which resulted in the first opposition win since independence, elections on July 29 in Cambodia produced a predictable landslide victory for Prime Minister Hun Sen, in power since 1985.
His Cambodian People's Party claims to have won all 125 seats available, prompting Mu Sochea, an exiled opposition leader, to tell media in Jakarta that election day "marked the death of democracy in Cambodia."
