Administration

According to the 1998 census, Russey Keo consisted of 12 Sangkats with a total population of 180,076;[2] in 2008–2009 three Sangkats—Khmuonh, Phnom Penh Thmei and Tuek Thla—formed Khan Sen Sok[3] and the population recorded by the 2008 census in the resulting nine-Sangkat area was 175,295.[1]

In 2010, Bak Kaeng and Kaoh Dach communes were added to the Khan from Mukh Kampul District, Kandal Province.[4] In 2013, both Sangkats, along with Chrouy Changvar, Preaek Lieb and Preaek Ta Sek, formed a new entity, Khan Chroy Changvar,[5] taking Russey Keo's number of Sangkats to six. In 2016, Tuol Sangkae was split in two separate Sangkats, Tuol Sangkae I and Tuol Sangkae II.[5]

As of 2020, Russey Keo is subdivided into seven Sangkats (communes) and 30 Phums (villages).[5]
