Of the 24 CPP members in the new government, 11 were widely considered Hun Sen allies,
with just two belonging squarely in the Chea Sim group. Ten more were without known affil-
iations, but due to their “relative youth or intellectual background” could be presumed to be
closer to Hun Sen than Chea Sim. See Michael Vickery,

(Ph-
nom Penh: Funan, 2007), 121-2.
