昂山素季爲未能成爲下屆總統而道歉
Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has released a letter to her supporters apologizing for not becoming the country’s next president.
In the letter posted to social media Thursday shortly before Myanmar’s parliament began the process of selecting the new chief executive, the Nobel Laureate apologized for “not fully fulfilling the people’s desire.”
She added that she would persevere and asked for people’s continued support “to reach the goal peacefully.”
Her National League for Democracy party (NLD), won an overwhelming number of seats in parliament during November’s general election. But a clause in the military written constitution prevents her from assuming the nation’s top job because her sons have foreign citizenship.
The parliament in Naypyidaw will begin the presidential selection process by first choosing three vice-presidents, one from the lower house, one from the upper house and one from the military. After a vetting period, the entire parliament will select one of the three to become the nation’s next president.
The new government will take office on April 1.緬甸反對黨領袖昂山素季向支持者發表公開信，爲自己未能成爲下屆總統而表示歉意。
昂山素季星期四在社交媒體上發表公開信後不久，緬甸議會就將啓動遴選下屆總統的程序。昂山素季爲“未能滿足人民的心願”而道歉。
昂山素季表示，她將繼續努力，並呼籲民衆繼續支持“以和平方式實現目標”。
在去年11月舉行的大選中，昂山素季的全國民主聯盟獲得議會多數地位。但緬甸軍方制訂的憲法規定，昂山素季因其兒子是外國公民而不得擔任總統。
緬甸議會將選出三位副總統，分別來自上院、下院和軍方，然後由議會進行全體表決，其中一人將成爲下屆總統。
新政府將於4月1日就任。
