In Burma, the pro-democracy party of Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi has won 348 seats in Parliament, enough for a majority and the power to select the country’s next president. Sunday’s national election ousted Burma’s military-backed ruling party, which won a mere 40 seats. When the new Parliament meets in January, it will mark the first time since 1962 that military leaders do not control Burma’s government. Aung San Suu Kyi herself is barred from assuming the presidency under the military-drafted constitution.
