Myanmar's President Thein Sein says will not run for second term

BY AUNG HLA TUN


Myanmar President Thein Sein has decided not to run in a parliamentary election scheduled for Nov. 8, a senior official from his office said on Monday, meaning he will not be eligible for a second term as head of state.


“The president wrote a letter to U Shwe Mann, chairman of the ruling USDP Party, that he will not run in the next general election because of his health condition,” the official told Reuters, asking not to be named.


The former military commander was elected to parliament in 2010.


From there, an electoral college nominated him as one of the three vice presidents and, subsequently, president.
