A Myanmar newspaper hawker sells newspapers after landmark
by-elections in Yangon, Myanmar on Monday.
Myanmar democracy campaigner Aung San Suu Kyi on Monday called her
party's landslide victory in weekend by-elections a "triumph of the
people." "We hope this will be the beginning of a new era of
involvement by the people in the politics of this country," Ms. Suu
Kyi told a crowd of well-wishers gathered outside the Yangon
headquarters of her party, the National League for Democracy (NLD).
The NLD said that according to the vote counts so far, it had won 43
of the 45 seats contested in Sunday's by-elections in formerly
military-run Myanmar. Theparty ran candidates in 44 races, and it was
likely it would win all 44 once the final tallies were made.
The crowds greeting Ms. Suu Kyi chanted, "Mother Suu! Mother Suu!" and
"Good health! Good health!" Ms. Suu Kyi, 66, suffered bouts of
exhaustion during the campaign.
She contested in the Kawhmu township, 30 kilometres south of Yangon,
where she won 90 per cent of the votes, according to the NLD/
