Current affairs and general knowledge play an important role in examinations like Bank, SSC, UPSC and Railway Recruitment. In this, questions related to big events of the country and abroad come. For better preparation of this section, we will know about Hun Sen, who was the Prime Minister for a long time. New history has been written in Cambodia. King Narottam Sihmuni has appointed Hun Manet, son of Hun Sen, as the new Prime Minister of the country after the Prime Minister Hun Sen announced that he would step down after 38 years.
He has been appointed PM for five years. He will try to win a vote of confidence in the National Assembly this month. He will also win this trust vote easily as his party has 120 MPs in the 125-seat assembly. Hun Manet has reached the Parliament after being elected for the first time.
How long has Hun Sen been on the post of Prime Minister?
The new Prime Minister is currently the Deputy Commander in Chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces and a member of the Standing Committee of the Cambodian People's Party. His father Hun Sen had announced to hand over power to his son Hun Manet on July 26 after the election results were out. He remained on the post of Prime Minister continuously since 1985. Prior to that, he has held many other positions including Foreign Minister.
Hun Sen has been ruling Cambodia like a dictator. It is said that without his gesture, not even a leaf moves in Cambodia. The king there is considered to be a puppet of Hun Sen. According to Hun Sen's announcement, the king appointed Hun Manet as PM and issued an order to win the vote of confidence in the assembly. Hun Sen has said that he will remain the party president.
The new Prime Minister Hun Manet holds a UG degree from the US Military Academy West Point. He has done his master's from America and doctorate from Bristol University, UK. Hun Manet will win the trust vote on August 22 as per the fixed programme. Because his party won 120 out of 125 seats in the elections held in July.
So far in the world, no leader has worked as the Prime Minister for 38 consecutive years in any country. This record has been registered in the name of Hun Sen only. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru had served as the Prime Minister for the longest time since independence in India. He continued to work on the post of Prime Minister for almost 17 years.
