Suu Kyi Ruled Out as Myanmar President

In Myanmar, the National League for Democracy, which dominates parliament, has put forward the names of two nominees to become vice-presidents of the country. One of them should eventually be chosen as president. Htin Kyaw, a trusted aide of the party leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, is one of the candidates. Ms Suu Kyi herself is barred from the presidency by the military-drafted constitution. A third candidate will be named by the military.
