Myanmar’s military-backed main opposition party has rejected the results of last weekend’s general election, citing unfairness.

Unofficial results on Tuesday showed that the ruling National League for Democracy (NLD) party, led by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, won a majority of seats in parliament, giving it a second five-year term in power.
