“Myanmar’s parliament on Wednesday elected Win Myint as president, a week after Htin Kyaw announced his sudden resignation. The 66-year-old ally of de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been speaker of the lower house of parliament since 2016, shortly after the National League for Democracy (NLD) swept November elections the previous year.”
