Prime Minister Hun Sen announced today that he will seek another term and contest in next year’s national elections as the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) candidate. Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of National Road 51 in Kampong Speu province’s Odong district, Mr Hun Sen said: “In 2023, I will continue as the prime ministerial candidate for the next election.”

 

He said he needs to continue his work, especially maintaining peace, and reminded that he had previously announced he would remain as the Prime Minister until he felt ready to retire. During the CPP’s Central Committee meeting on December 24, the ruling party elected Mr Hun Sen as their candidate for Prime Minister for the 2023 National Elections.

 

The meeting also voted for his eldest son Lieutenant General Hun Manet as the future Prime Minister candidate after his father. Mr Hun Sen became Prime Minister in 1985 at the age of 32 after serving as Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation at the age of 27. During his nearly 40 years in power, he has also shown his readiness to have young people taking turns to lead the country.
