Myanmar held its second general election on Sunday. The party claimed victory on Monday after local media reported that the NLD was ahead in the private sector.
NLD spokesperson Mio Nint told Reuters that internal reports showed that the NLD, led by Aung San Suu Kyi, had won the required 322 seats in parliament. Although the Electoral Commission has not yet announced the official results.
“We thank people,” he said. For the people, for the party, this electoral result is very encouraging ”.
The Election Commission is expected to announce the official results later on Monday. The election is seen as a referendum on the question of a new democratic government headed by Aung San Suu Kyi NLD leader.
Although Suu Kyi’s party is very popular in Myanmar, allegations of genocide against the Rohingya Muslim minority have tarnished its image in the international arena.
The image of Suu Kyi, who won a landslide victory in the 2015 elections, has been tarnished in the international arena due to her “silent support” for the Rohingya “genocide”.
Of Myanmar’s 440 seats in the House of Representatives of the bicameral parliament and the 224 seats in the upper house, 25 percent are reserved for the military. The rest of the seats were voted on Sunday.
