I made a presentation about the November 8th election in Myanmar. First, I talked about Myanmar's history, and then explain the election with greater details.
Since a coup occured in 1962, Myanmar's politics had been controled by military power. When socialistic government ended by a demonstration for democracy in 1988, SLORC started to control political power. in 1990,
free election was held and NLD won but the government didn't transfer
political power to NLD. Since this election, the government and Aung San
Suu Kyi were in opposition and she got under house arrest until she was
released in 2010. next year, Thein Sein was elected as a new president
and SPDC transferred political power.
On the November 8th election,
NLD got over 80% of seats. This is one point of the election because
Aung San Suu Kyi can be a president. Now she cant be a president because
of the constitution, so she can change it and become a president.
And the November 8th election gave effects on other neighbering countries. According to Nikkei asian review, Myanmar is one of the influence countries. the voting process was so
smooth and free that everyone couldnt expect.
