A senior former Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) official has said he believed Prime Minister Hun Sen would win the wager on the legal status of party co-founder Kem Sokha that Sam Rainsy made with him.

Sokha is currently on bail awaiting trial. In November, Rainsy offered Hun Sen a bet that he would have his treason charge dropped by March 3.
