Cambodia poll body disqualifies sole opposition party from July election

Cambodia's main opposition party, the Candlelight Party, has been disqualified from contesting July's election due to a paperwork issue.
Critics say this move leaves long-time leader Hun Sen with no real competition for the second time in a row, as his Cambodian People's Party won every single seat in the 2018 election after dissolving the main opposition alliance.
Hun Sen has been accused of cracking down on political opposition and independent media, prompting global condemnation from Western nations and rights groups.
