FILES-MYANMAR-VOTE-CANDIDATES
TO GO WITH Myanmar-vote-candidates, FOCUS
(FILES) This file picture taken on August 19, 2010 shows Than Nyein, chairman of Myanmar's newly-formed National Democratic Force (NDF), a party made up of former members of detained democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi's disbanded National League for Democracy (NLD), delivering a speech during the opening ceremony of the NDF office in Mandalay, central Myanmar. With undercover police lurking outside, breakaway opposition leader Than Nyein pleaded in vain with a local democracy activist to stand in army-ruled Myanmar's first election in 20 years. Democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi's call for a boycott of the polls has caused a split in the opposition between those who back her stance and others who see the vote as the only hope for progress in the autocratic nation.
