PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - Cambodia's ruling party said on Monday it had won the majority of parliamentary seats in a weekend election, as critics including the United States slammed the poll as "neither free nor fair".
The Cambodian People's Party (CPP), which ran virtually unopposed, said it won 120 out of 125 seats, cementing Prime Minister Hun Sen's grip on the country's political landscape ahead of a possible transition of power to his son Hun Manet.
