By-election (III)

Pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi won a seat in parliament after a historic by-election. This election process was a small step towards a positive step. President Thein Sein said: "It was conducted in a very successful manner." Voting took place under the watch of small team of delegates from the European Union and the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), who were given only a few days to prepare inside Burma. They called themselves "visitors" rather than observers. The democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi and her party might end up with only a small number of seats, many expect her to exert outsized influence. Fair polls seen as crucial to ease Western economic sanctions. We will be looking forward a general election in 2015 which many Burmese want to be seen the most political reforms.
