Cambodians vote in ‘sham’ election
Ruling party almost certain to be returned to power after opposition parties disqualified
Hun Sen, who has been in power for 38 years, faces no real challenge after the only credible opposition party was disqualified. His Cambodian People's Party is expected to win all 125 seats in parliament.
Also on the programme: the Spanish far-right could make gains in a uniquely polarised election; and the holidaymakers shunning traditional vacations in favour of ‘sleep retreats’.
Joining Audrey Brown to discuss all this and more are Ammon Cheskin, senior lecturer in Central and East European Studies at Glasgow University in Scotland and Georgina Godwin, a Zimbabwean-born broadcaster and journalist based in London.
