'Victory day': Cambodia heir leads final rally ahead of one-sided election

Phnom Penh: Cambodian leader Hun Sen's eldest son and chosen successor hailed 'victory day' in a final rambunctious rally Friday, ahead of one-sided elections that his father's ruling party is guaranteed to win.

One of the world's longest-serving rulers, Hun Sen has played off tensions between the United States and China to buttress his grip on power, although critics say that more than 30 years after UN-brokered peace accords ended decades of bloody conflict, Cambodian democracy is in a sorry state.
