In Myanmar, ethnic loyalties could crimp Suu Kyi's party


TAUNGGYI, Myanmar: Political parties representing Myanmar's ethnic minorities could pick up a sizeable number of seats at general elections later this year, presenting a stumbling block for the ambitions of democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi and her party.


Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) is looking to become a dominant force in parliament after the November elections, taking over the reins of a military-initiated reform process that is now seen as stalled.


Myanmar does not have opinion polls, but analysts widely believe the NLD will prevail over the ruling, pro-military Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) of President Thein Sein in the country's heartland, home to the majority Bama ethnic group.


But on the fringes, parties representing many of the country's 134 minorities are expected to romp home, potentially creating a third force that could stifle the NLD's ambitions to take the reins of reform.




good, its looking like everyones hopes about her were completely wrong and she is a wolf in sheeps clothing, being an ultra-nationalist, she would cause more trouble for Burma's minorities if given free reign.
