Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen's party has claimed victory in the general elections, saying it expects to win about 73 of the 123 seats in the National Assembly.

The voting process has so far won praise from international monitors, despite the grenade blast in downtown Phnom Penh that slightly injured one person.
