Only Suu Kyi speaks for party: NLD

The National League for Democracy said only Aung San Suu Kyi could make announcements on policy and transitional affairs.

Its statement stressed the delicate nature of transitional politics and said Suu Kyi was handing the process with great care.

During the week, Nyan Win, an executive committee member, told the AFP news agency that MP Win Myint had been chosen as the Lower House Speaker and Kayin national MP Marn Win Khaing Than would be the Upper House Speaker. Kachin and Arakan nationals would be the two vice-Speakers, he said.

Subsequently Suu Kyi on January 21 refused to answer questions on the appointments.  (Courtesy of Eleven Media)
