Vote count under way after historic Myanmar election
Al JazeeraFirst openly contested poll in 25 years held as country makes key transformation from military rule to democracy. “This election is seen as more inclusive and legitimate compared with the last election five years ago,” Al Jazeera’s Florence Looi reported from Yangon. People who didn’t bother voting in the 2010 election are turning up to cast their ballots.” Phil Robertson, Deputy Director of Human Rights Watch in Asia, told Al Jazeera: “I think this time around, everybody has agreed to largely play by the rules. “The concern is not necessarily for today, but the days following this, when issues come up connected to electoral disputes, and how these are resolved.” Suu Kyi votes As Suu Kyi turned up to vote in Yangon, her supporters repeatedly shouted, “Mother Aung San Suu Kyi”. RELATED: Myanmar’s ‘Muslim-free’ election “The people I’ve spoken to say that if they could vote, they’d probably vote for Aung San Suu Kyi party even though she and her party have not come out to support the Rohingya or spoken out against the crimes they have suffered over the last few years,” our correspondent said.
