Cambodia’s long-time ruling party voted to endorse Prime Minister Hun Sen’s eldest son as “future prime minister” but did not specify a time frame for when he might succeed his father, who has been in power for 36 years.
A statement from the Cambodia People’s Party said its central committee unanimously endorsed Hun Manet, 44, as “the prime minister candidate in the future”.
Hun Sen, one of the world’s longest-serving leaders, earlier this month said he would support his son as his successor but did not say when he would retire.
