Cambodia's ruling party claims victory in much-criticized election

By Prak Chan Thul and Tom Allard PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - Cambodia's ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) said on Sunday that it had won a general election that rights groups said was neither free nor fair due to voter intimidation and the absence of any significant challenger to Prime Minister Hun Sen. With no real opposition to speak of, Hun Sen was widely expected to win. CPP spokesman Sok Eysan said the party won an estimated 100 out of 125 parliamentary seats.
