Sisowath Youtevong was born in 1913 in Udong, Cambodia, as the son of Prince Chamraengvongs (1870–1916) and Princess Sisowath Yubhiphan (1877–1967). He studied at a science university in France and received a certificate of mathematics in 1941.[2] He was also a member of the French Section of the Workers' International, the predecessor to the present-day Socialist Party.

He led the Democratic Party to victory in the elections on 1 September 1946 and was sworn in as Prime Minister on 15 December 1946. Prince Sisowath Youtevong died on 17 July 1947 two days after leaving office as Prime Minister, at Calmette Hospital, Phnom Penh, and was succeeded by Sisowath Watchayavong.
