Kandal (FN), Aug. 3 – Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen told four reasons why he decided to step down as prime minister in the 7th mandate government, speaking on Thursday morning (Aug. 3) in an inauguration ceremony of Ring Road No.3.

Firstly, the transfer of power to the young generation now is conducted in a more stable and secure environment compared to that when members of the previous cabinet are older or dying.

Secondly, the younger generations are well-prepared and highly capable to succeed.

Thirdly, Samdech himself continued to do politics by serving as the president of the ruling party, accompanied by the four vice presidents, along with several other members of the politburo who will be serving in the the National Assembly and the Senate.

Fourthly, the 7th general election showed that the voter turnout was over 82 per cent, indicating that the people support Hun Manet as the next prime minister.
