Cambodia's ruling party claims landslide election victory as US deems vote 'neither free nor fair'

Cambodia held general elections in which Prime Minister Hun Sen's party won overwhelmingly amid suppression of opposition.
The US criticized the elections as unfair and lacking genuine choice, announcing punitive measures in response.
Hun Sen, Asia's longest serving leader, plans to hand over power to his son Hun Manet during next term.
Main opposition party was disqualified on a technicality, leading to a one-sided contest.
China, Cambodia's closest ally, endorsed the elections while Western nations refused to send observers.
