Samdech Techo Hun Sen, Cambodia’s long-serving former Prime Minister, has been unanimously elected as the President of the Senate in its fifth mandate. The election took place on Wednesday during the Senate’s first session, with all 62 senators present casting their votes in his favor, according to the state-run National Television of Cambodia.
Hun Sen’s elevation to the Senate presidency marks a new chapter in his political career after stepping down as Prime Minister. His unanimous election reflects the strong support he continues to enjoy within the country’s legislative body.
This development is significant for Cambodia’s political landscape, as Hun Sen has been a central figure in the nation’s governance for decades. His leadership in the Senate is expected to influence the country’s future legislative direction.
