Take a look inside the National League for Democracy's new proposed government with insider profiles of the party's 18 candidates for ministerial posts:
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi (foreign affairs; president’s office; education; energy and electric power)
The National League for Democracy leader needs little introduction. Has vowed to rule “above the president”, and with a reported four portfolios will hold a fair chunk of executive power. The only woman in the cabinet, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi won the Pyithu Hluttaw seat of Kawhmu in November.
U Aung Thu (agriculture, irrigation and livestock)
A former rector of Yangon University, U Aung Thu served as a government officer for several decades before retiring in August last year to contest the election. He won a seat in the lower house for Yangon’s Latha township. He has worked in several universities across Myanmar, including a professor of mathematics at Taungoo University. Under his tenure, Yangon University boosted its cooperation with international educational institutions and expanded undergraduate teaching. (Courtesy of Myanmar Times)
