emocracy champion Aung San Suu Kyi today looked set to make history by winning a seat in parliament, but complaints of ballot-tampering cast new doubt on the fairness of the elections.
Many supporters waited for hours in searing heat to glimpse the 66-year-old Nobel laureate, who is running for political office for the first time in the by-elections, after being locked up by the junta for most of the past 22 years.
The 45 seats at stake are not enough to threaten the ruling party’s majority, but a seat in parliament would give the National League for Democracy (NLD) leader a chance to shape legislation for the first time.
