Myanmar's ruling Union
Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) conceded defeat Monday
to opposition party National League for Democracy (NDL), led by
Aung San Suu Kyi, in parliamentary elections held Sunday, said
Chinese television CCTV in a tweet.
Party leader Htay Oo said he admitted to "collecting more
defeats than victories", in an interview with Thailand-based
broadcasting company Democratic Voice of Burma.
Despite the fact that USDP garnered fewer votes than NDL,
one-fourth of the two houses of parliament is reserved for the
country's army, which is aligned with USDP.
