Cambodia’s royalist party voted to remove Prince Norodom Ranariddh as its leader, saying his long absences from the country left him unable to lead the fractious party.

Over the last six months, Ranariddh has lived in a self-imposed exile, mostly in France. The party’s popularity steadily declined under Ranariddh’s leadership.
