Lawmaker Acknowledges NLD Victory in 1990.

A high-ranking Burmese official has taken the rare step of acknowledging the 1990 election victory by Aung San Suu Kyi’s opposition National League for Democracy (NLD) party, which was prevented from taking power at the time by the ruling military junta.

“I recognize the result of the 1990 election, which the NLD won with a vast majority of the votes,” Burma's parliament chief Khin Aung Myint told the Yangon Times in an interview.

“The results cannot be reversed and I have no intention to do so,” said the former director of public relations and psychological warfare in the Ministry of Defense, according to a report this week.

Aung San Suu Kyi's NLD had swept parliamentary elections in 1990, winning 392 out of 492 contested seats, only to be denied power by the army.
