Mr Bounnhang, 78, was selected for the top position of party Secretary-General, state media reported on Friday, replacing 79-year-old Choummaly Sayasone, who stepped down after a decade in power. Laos political leaders have tightly controlled the impoverished South-East Asian nation since 1975, when Communist revolutionaries overthrew the monarchy several decades after the end of French colonial rule.
State media reported that nearly 700 party members joined the five-yearly congress in the capital Vientiane last week to approve a mostly male central committee and 11-person politburo, the key governing bodies of resource-rich country. The internal operations of the powerful party are largely kept secret under a regime that bars a free press and severely restricts freedom of expression.
LAOS POLITIC SYSTEM IS PRESIDENT AND PRIME MINISTER ASSIGNMENT
LAOS MILITARY IS LINKING TO CHINA
