Suu Kyi may become president Myanmar parliament to consider amending constitution

NAYPYIDAW (Myanmar): Myanmar’s parliament will consider amending the country’s constitution – which currently bars opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi from becoming president – ahead of crucial elections next year, an official said.

Suu Kyi is trying to change key sections of Myanmar’s charter ahead of 2015 polls that are widely expected to be won by her National League for Democracy (NLD), if they are free and fair, after decades of disastrous military rule.
