U Tin Oo, veteran patron of the National League for Democracy, declared yesterday that he had no desire to become president and that the post must be given to party leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
“Daw Aung San Suu Kyi must be the president. Why can’t she be a president? I am just a supporter for her. I never want to be president. I want to help her as much as I can,” the 88-year-old former defence minister and commander-in-chief said.
His comments to reporters, made after attending a training session with the NLD leader for state and region hluttaw MPs, fuelled speculation that no agreement had yet been reached with the military over the choice of Myanmar’s next president or how the party and the Tatmadaw would share power.
