Members of Aung San Suu Kyi’s victorious pro-democracy party will take their seats in parliament on February 1, Myanmar’s speaker said on Wednesday, beginning a new era for a nation under army rule for decades.
In a statement parliamentary speaker Shwe Mann announced that “all MPs [are] to start the new parliament at 10am on Monday February 1, 2016”.
But the new government will take office slowly under the complex political system – it can only be formed after current President Thein Sein steps down on March 31.
