YANGON -- Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy government are gearing up for their first electoral test since taking power last year, with April 1 by-elections looming for a small number of parliamentary seats.
"Many of the vacant seats are in the NLD's stronghold areas," noted Nay Yan Oo, a Myanmar analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C.
