Preview

Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi is calling for international representatives to closely watch her country's general elections in November. The elections will be the first there since the end of military rule in 2011.

The Nobel Peace Prize winner said the vote will be “the first time in decades our people will have a chance to bring about real change.” She made the comments in a video published Tuesday on the Facebook page of her party, the National League for Democracy.

Tuesday marks the official start of the campaign period for the November 8 parliamentary elections. Parliament will then choose a president.
