Cambodia's new prime minister appoints youngest brother as his deputy
- Cambodia’s new prime minister, Hun Manet, has successfully secured approval from lawmakers to appoint his younger brother, Hun Many, as deputy premier.
- Hun Manet, a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and previously Cambodia’s military chief, succeeded his father, Hun Sen.
- The National Assembly endorsed Hun Many, the third son of Hun Sen, as deputy prime minister, with unanimous support from ruling party members.
Six months after becoming Cambodia’s new prime minister, the eldest son of the country’s long-serving autocratic leader on Wednesday won approval from lawmakers to have his youngest brother take the post of deputy premier.
The development is the latest in a generational change in top positions in the Southeast Asian nation that tightens control of Cambodia’s government by a small circle of families associated with the ruling Cambodian People’s Party.
Last August, Hun Manet, 46, the son of longtime leader Hun Sen and Cambodia’s military chief, became the prime minister after having engaged in foreign diplomacy more and more over the past few years. His father stepped down after 38 years in power.

On Wednesday, the National Assembly overwhelmingly approved his 41-year-old brother Hun Many — Hun Sen’s third son — as deputy prime minister. All but five members of the 125-seat chamber are from the ruling party, and the 120 lawmakers who were present at Wednesday’s session voted unanimously in favor of Hun Many.
Speaking to lawmakers, Hun Manet, said his brother’s appointment was in line with his government’s policy of promoting efficiency to help Cambodia reach its goal of becoming a high-income country by 2050.
While serving as deputy prime minister, Hun Many will also retain his post as civil service minister and lawmaker.
CAMBODIA’S PRIME MINISTER HUN SEN HINTS THAT HE INTENDS TO STEP DOWN WHEN NEW GOVERNMENT IS INSTALLED
Middle brother Hun Manith, 42, is a three-star army general and chief of the Defense Ministry’s intelligence department.
Hun Manet’s Cabinet includes about three quarters of replacements for his father’s ministers, mostly children or relatives of those whose places they took over. Experts have cautioned against expecting broad changes Cambodia, where under Hun Sen human rights were long under attack and dissent was suppressed.
“There is not a big difference between the generations in political outlook, including in terms of how open or how competitive politics should be,” Astrid Norén-Nilsson, a Cambodia expert at Sweden’s Lund University, said after Hun Manet took power last year.
The generational handover was designed to keep the power of the political-cum-business elite intact, she added.

The Jaguars move to 22-25 overall and 10-12 in conference play as they near the end of the regular season.

After Eden Parker reached on a walk and advanced into scoring position, Chesney Miles drew an RBI walk with the bases loaded to bring home the Jaguars’ only run of the game.The Bobcats extended their lead to 5-1 in the fourth and held Augusta off the board the rest of the way.
Victoria Oropeza led the Jaguars at the plate, going 2-for-3, while Sydney Gilbert added a hit as Augusta totaled three in the contest.
In the circle, Augusta utilized multiple pitchers, with Kristyn Ezzo providing steady innings in relief and working through traffic to help limit further damage over the middle frames.
Game Two
Following a 30-minute rain delay early in the contest, Augusta responded with a strong offensive performance to secure the split.
Georgia College opened the scoring in the second, but the Jaguars answered immediately with a four-run inning. Ansley Gibson singled to start the rally, and after traffic built on the bases, Nevaeh Ross delivered a two-run single to give Augusta the lead. Chesney Miles followed with an RBI bunt, and Victoria Oropeza added another run-scoring hit to cap the inning and put Augusta ahead 4-1.
Augusta added to its lead in the fifth when Eden Parker launched a solo home run, extending the advantage to 5-1.
The Jaguars added more insurance runs in the sixth, capitalizing on multiple opportunities. Oropeza drove in a run on a fielder’s choice before Kaylynn Scaffe added an RBI single. Gibson then delivered a two-run double to extend the lead to 9-2.
Gibson led the offense with two hits and two RBI, while Nevaeh Ross also recorded two hits and drove in two. Miles finished 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base, and Oropeza added an RBI as part of Augusta’s 11-hit performance.

Alleged shooter was guest at hotel during White House Correspondents’ Dinner: DC police
Asiye Yilmaz
26 April 2026•Update: 26 April 2026
The suspected gunman involved in a shooting incident during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, DC, on Saturday evening was a guest at the hotel where the event was held, police said.
Jeffrey Carroll, interim chief of the Metropolitan Police Department, said authorities are still working to determine the suspect’s motive and intended target, noting the individual was not previously known to law enforcement.
Carroll said the suspect charged a security checkpoint armed with a shotgun, as well as a handgun and multiple knives. He added that the suspect was not struck by gunfire and was taken to a hospital for evaluation.
Law enforcement has secured a hotel room linked to the suspect and is conducting searches to determine its contents, he said.
Officials believe the individual acted alone, with no other suspects identified at this stage, according to CBS News.
US President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were evacuated from the annual event at the Washington Hilton, and were unharmed.
Trump said one person was in custody after the incident. He described the suspect as a “very sick person” and a “thug” who had attacked the US Constitution.
Others in attendance included Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
