Cambodians voted Sunday in an election that long-time leader Hun Sen is all but guaranteed to win as he looks to secure his legacy by handing the reins to his eldest son.

The 70-year-old former Khmer Rouge cadre has ruled since 1985 and faces no real contest in this vote, with opposition parties banned, challengers forced to flee and freedom of expression stifled.

Cambodian leader Hun Sen unveiled a collection of stolen Angkor crown jewelry on March 17 which was recently returned to the kingdom after decades in Britain, pleading for other long-lost treasures to be handed back.
