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
ent Burma. However, later that same
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
