Suu Kyi`s party undecided on contesting polls

AP, Yangon, Myanmar :Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi said Tuesday it is too early for her party to decide whether it will participate in 2015 elections because it depends on whether the constitution and election laws are amended.She noted that her National League for Democracy party boycotted 2010 polls because it believed the legal conditions were unacceptable. It participated in 2012 by-elections after some rules were amended, and won 43 of the 44 seats it contested.The 2010 election was widely seen as rigged in favor of the military and its allies but gave Myanmar an elected, nominally civilian, government for the first time since a 1962 coup overthrew parliamentary democracy.
