Myanmar's new Parliament session begins
The parliamentary session that will install Myanmar's first democratically elected government in over 50 years began on Monday, with majority members from pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi's party. Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy won 80% of the total elected seats in the elections. Suu Kyi is constitutionally barred from Presidency but has vowed to rule through a proxy.
