Suu Kyi’s party wins string of seats in by-elections but is rejected by Myanmar’s minorities
[SCMP] Aung San Suu Kyi’s one-year-old government won a string of seats in Myanmar by-elections on Sunday but was bruised by losses in ethnic minority areas.

The voting to fill 19 seats in the national and regional parliaments was seen as a test of the icon’s popularity after a bumpy first year in office.

Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) won nine out of 19 seats in the national and regional parliaments, according to the Union Election Commission, following a period in which she has struggled to match sky-high expectations.

The NLD stormed to power after dominating a historic 2015 poll that ended half a century of brutal military rule.

But disillusionment with her administration has grown in some circles as the young government has struggled to push through promised reforms.

The NLD’s comfortable majority was not threatened by Saturday’s by-elections, which were mostly held to fill a handful of offices emptied by politicians who took on ministerial posts.
