YANGON -- On April 1, Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy faces its first electoral test since taking power in Myanmar on the back of a landslide election win in 2015.
The governing party will compete for a total of 2 million votes in all bar one of 19 by-election contests -- seven of which are for regional parliaments -- for seats vacated mostly by incumbents who joined the NLD-led government as ministers.
