The Cambodian People Party has elected its current vice-president to run for prime minister in this year's election.

In a two-day meeting of the party's general assembly in Phnom Penh, Prime Minister Hun Sen, who is the current vice-president of the CPP, was unanimously elected to contest in the national election on July 27.

The meeting was attended by about 900 party faithful across the country, who want to see the CPP continue its close alliance with the Funcinpec party because they see it as a trustworthy polical partner in the coalition government.
