Myanmar’s Suu Kyi says next election cannot be fair unless constitution made democratic

YANGON, Myanmar — Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has sharpened her criticism of her country’s incomplete transition to democracy, saying the next general election in 2015 cannot be fair unless the army-imposed constitution is amended.
Speaking to reporters Friday at a ceremony marking the 25th anniversary of the founding of her National League for Democracy party, Suu Kyi said an unfair election would have consequences, but did not elaborate.
Her party considers the current constitution undemocratic because of clauses giving the military a substantial percentage of parliamentary seats and disqualifying Suu Kyi from running for president.Copy and paste this URL into your WordPress site to embed
