AFP (PHNOM PENH)—Cambodians will go to the polls on July 27 for a general election in which more than eight million people are expected to cast their vote, an election commission official said Monday. Incumbent Prime Minster Hun Sen -- the longest-serving elected premier in Southeast Asia with 23 years in power -- and his ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) are widely expected to win the poll. Tep Nitha, secretary general of the National Election Committee (NEC), said that 8,124,391 people registered to vote before the February deadline.
