Myanmar's ruling National League for Democracy (NLD) introduces a Bill in Parliament, its first day in power, seeking a new high position for party leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

Aung San Suu Kyi, whose party won a landslide victory in elections last month, meets President Thein Sein to discuss the handover of power.

The National League for Democracy has won a landslide victory in Myanmar's historic election, say vote officials.

Myanmar's ruling party concedes defeat in the country's general election as the opposition led by democracy figurehead Aung San Suu Kyi appears on course for a landslide victory.

Votes are being counted in Myanmar's first openly contested national election after 25 years.

When Myanmar votes next month in what has been billed as its first free and fair election in 25 years, around 4 million of his fellow citizens, won't be taking part.

Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi vows to lead the country if her National League for Democracy comes to power in the upcoming election.
