Myanmar to form committee to nominate next president

Myanmar’s ruling National League for Democracy (NLD) party chief Aung San Suu Kyi cannot be the country’s president, at least for now.

The current constitution bars her from that role because she has children who are not Myanmar citizens.

To enable the democracy icon to assume the presidency, some have suggested suspending the constitution. However, the likes of Khun Maung Zaw, a political analyst, find it unlikely for the military to welcome the proposal. (Courtesy of Channel NewsAsia)
