A senate election is due to be held in Cambodia on 25 February 2024.[1][2] This will be the 5th Senate election in history.
Background
After resigning as prime minister, Hun Sen stated his intention to continue his political career as the President of the Cambodian People's Party, a member of the National Assembly, and the President of His Majesty's the King's Supreme Privy Council. After the Senate election on 25 February 2024, he announced his intention to also become President of the Senate.[3]
On 5 September, the Candlelight Party has been advised by the National Election Committee to make every effort to locate the original registration document issued by the Ministry of Interior or obtain a new one in order to be eligible to vote in the Senate election. NEC spokesman Hang Puthea suggested that CP leaders should try to locate the missing original paperwork or appeal to the Ministry of Interior to follow the legal process in order to obtain a new original document to register the candidates and parties at the NEC. According to CLP spokesman Kimsour Phirith, party officials have written Interior Minister Sar Sokha to address the issue with the party's registration documentation. According to him, the party is still exerting significant effort to request that the Ministry of Interior streamline the procedure and make it simpler for political parties to register.[4]
