Pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi intends to run for parliament in upcoming by-elections, a decision that was expected after her party decided last week to rejoin mainstream politics in long-isolated Myanmar.
Nyan Win, the spokesman of Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy, said Monday she has not yet decided which district she will seek to represent. But she “has the intention to stand for the elections,” he told The Associated Press.
