Cambodia’s top monastic leader, Supreme Patriarch Tep Vong, urged the nation’s monks yesterday to vote for the ruling Cambodian People’s Party, explaining that the outcome of the 2018 national election has been “arranged already”.

 

“We are alive until now because of the solidarity of the government … We need to consider the many good points of the government led by Prime Minister Hun Sen,” Vong said at a national conference for monks at Chaktomuk Hall yesterday.
