Aung San Suu Kyi runs for Burmese presidency in all but name
Unofficially, she has vowed to be the de-facto leader by calling the shots from behind the scenes, and party members said that’s how things will work in Burma’s first democratically-elected government in more than half a century.
The party nominated two Suu Kyi loyalists for the post including the front runner Htin Kyaw a 70-year-old Oxford graduate. The nomination will be followed by a vote among legislators later this month before the new president is installed April 1.
