BANGKOK -- On July 29, Cambodians will be casting their ballots for what is expected to be the most controversial national election since the country's electoral system was launched in 1993.
Following the forced dissolution of the largest opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) last November, the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) led by Prime Minister Hun Sen has no viable competitor and appears to have already secured its victory. But with former CNRP members calling on voters to boycott the election altogether, it is not yet clear if that victory will be a credible one.
