Cheated before, many voters in Myanmar (1) were anxious as the counting of votes from
elections held on November 8th dragged on. But now, five days later, the party most voters
chose, the National League for Democracy (NLD), led by Aung San Suu Kyi, passed the
landmark it needed (2). The army, which has ruled Myanmar (or Burma, as it was until
1989) for 53 years, albeit in mufti (3) since 2011, has suffered a heavy blow (4).
It is the culmination (5) of an extraordinary week in Myanmar. On polling day, the
excitement was palpable (6). In the pre-dawn dark, 30 minutes before voting began, the
queue at a polling station (7) in Yangon, the country’s biggest city, stretched for several
blocks (8). In midmorning a line of voters trailing through a monastery’s leafy grounds (9)
suddenly shifted to allow a frail elderly woman, carried up a flight of stairs (10) by two
young men, to cast her ballot (11). Through blazing midday sun and afternoon rainstorms,
Myanmar’s citizens turned out to vote (12) in their country’s first competitive general
election (13) since 1990—a poll which the NLD also won easily, only to see (14) the army
refuse to honour the people’s verdict (15).
