A historic election took place in M yan
mar on 8th November. It was organised
by the country’s electoral commission.
Many people believed that it was the first
proper democratic election to be held in
M yanmar for 25 years. Around 30 mil
lion people
voted to select members of
the country’s national parliament.
Officials from the electoral commis
sion began to announce the results the
following day. By 12th November they
confirmed that the National League for
Democracy (NLD) had won more than
80% o f the seats.
Aung San Suu Kyi is
the leader o f the NLD. W hen a political
party wins an election by a large margin
like this it is called ‘a landslide’.
Burma, as M yanmar was previously
called, is a former British colony. In
1947 Aung San (Ms Suu K yi’s father)
became the leader o f a newly independ

year, his rivals murdered him. Then, Ms
Suu Kyi was two years old.
Her father
had fought against the Japanese when
they occupied Burma in the Second
World War (1939 - 1945). Today, many
people in M yanmar still call Aung San
the ‘father’ o f their country.
After the death o f her husband, Ms
Suu K yi’s mother went to work in India.
This was
where Ms Suu Kyi first went
to school. Later, she studied at Oxford
University, in the UK. Ms Suu Kyi then
moved to New York City, in the USA.
There, she worked for the United N a
tions (UN). She married a British man
whom she had met at university. They
had two children.
In 1963
a group o f army generals, or
junta, took control o f Burma. After liv
ing in India for many years, Ms Suu Kyi
mother returned to Myanmar. In 1988
she became ill. Ms Suu Kyi went back to
