Senate passes amendments allowing seat redistribution

Following last week's events, when Prime Minister Hun Sen proposed redistributing the Cambodia National Rescue Party’s National Assembly seats among minor opposition parties, the controversial amendments were passed at a Senate meeting today by 40 out of 61 senators. All 40 votes were from members of the ruling Cambodian People's Party.
