Hun Sen's party shows narrow win
Play
Phnom Penh (dpa) - Prime Minister Hun Sen and his ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) would win Sunday's national elections but not with nearly as wide a margin as predicted, preliminary results showed.
Unofficial figures showed the CPP leading with 68 of parliament's 123 seats and the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party following closely behind with 55 seats.
Information Minister Khieu Kanharith listed the preliminary figures in a Facebook post, and cabinet spokesman Phay Siphan confirmed them while stressing that they were not yet official
results.
In 2008, the CPP won the lion's share of the vote, taking 90 seats.
