Prime Minister Hun Sen said that despite his standing for election next year, Royal Cambodian Army (RCA) Commander Lieutenant General Hun Manet, chosen to be the future premier candidate for the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP), will not be sidelined and could succeed him at any time.

 

Speaking during the inauguration of the Choam Chao flyover and underpass in Phnom Penh yesterday, Mr Hun Sen, who is also the CPP president, said he will continue to stand for the 2023 National Election as Prime Minister candidate and Lt Gen Manet is the “reserve” one.

 

However, he hinted that the nomination of Lt Gen Manet as future Prime Minister is a precaution to avoid any eventual problems after the election, saying Lt Gen Manet is his “reserve” successor. “Reserving the next generation is something that must be prepared, otherwise a crisis will occur. For example, if suddenly Hun Sen is gone, who will continue? So there has to be a clear decision from the party,” he said.
