Myanmar's main opposition party was on course for a huge victory in the day's historic by-elections. These were extraordinary scenes in a country that just over a year ago was a hushed and fearful military dictatorship. Over the following days the government confirmed the NLD's landslide. The NLD's triumph spells humiliation for the regime. Support for the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), the proxy for an army that has ruled the country since 1962, was all but wiped out in these constituencies. The victory is more symbolic than practical. The NLD won only 6% of the 650-odd seats in parliament. Rather, it is to the 2015 general election that everyone is now looking. Myanmar is entering a decisive phase in its political transition. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
