Myanmar Holds First Democratic Election After Years
Hundreds of thousands voted in Myanmar's first democratic poll in years, with Aung San Suu Kyi and her NLD poised for a strong showing. The military retains 25 percent of parliament seats and controls key ministries, while ethnic minority parties may influence the new government. Suu Kyi cannot become president under the constitution, and about 30 million voters could cast ballots across upper and lower houses and regional assemblies.
