In USA is the same too. Kennedy, Bush and many others.
You can appoint the whole members of your family for the government office's
candidates , if the Cambodia election system is as the same as that of the USA .
Any selection of candidates by close relatives is considered as NEPOTISM . Kennedy , Bush did not appointed their sons . No primary poll within Khmer political
party , Khmer voters must accept whomever selected by the party leaders .NEPOTISM,
more or less , is another form of CORRUPTION .
1:06 am, Kennedy and Bush juniors won the election called the primaries, they were not appointed by their fathers. In Cambodia, Hun Sen appointed his sons and son-in-laws. This is the difference.
