YANGON: Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi held her rural constituency seat, the election commission announced Wednesday, as top ruling party figures fell by the wayside with her pro-democracy opposition appearing on the cusp of an historic election victory.
Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) looks set for a landslide win after Sunday's nationwide polls, winning nearly 90 percent of the seats declared so far in the upper and lower houses of parliament.
Myanmar's Union Election Commission said that Suu Kyi had won her rural constituency seat of Kawhmu with 54,676 votes, as election results trickle in from across the country. It was not immediately clear what margin she had won by.
