Cast of Suu Kyi aides tipped for Myanmar president role

Suu Kyi, 70, is barred from Myanmar’s presidency by a constitution that thwarts her ambition to lead the country away from decades of military rule.

Instead she has vowed to rule “above” the next leader, potentially adopting a system like India’s Sonia Gandhi, who wielded huge influence over her Congress party’s administrations despite having no official government role.
