Myanmar started counting millions of votes cast on Sunday in the country’s second election since military rule ended in 2011, with de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi and her ruling National League for Democracy (NLD) expected to win another term. Television broadcasts showed early ballots being counted in the presence of candidates, election officers and observers. Official results were expected to come on Sunday.
Similar to several countries in recent weeks and months, Myanmar went to the polls amid a surging coronavirus epidemic. The Union Election Commission had pledged that preventive measures at the polling stations would minimise voters’ risks of getting infected.
