Aung San Suu Kyi and her NLD party have claimed a majority in parliament, winning Myanmar’s landmark election by some margin. The result means the party can push through legislation and form a government, ending half a century of dominance by the military. Aung San Suu Kyi, who spent years under house arrest, has said that a triumph for the NLD would place her “above the president”.
