Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi said she is very concerned by the election commission’s attitude towards next week’s vote, warning the poll is already shaping up to be less than free and fair.
"We have been very concerned by the lack of enthusiasm on the part of the UEC to hold free and fair elections," Suu Kyi said Thursday at a in Yangon. "We have repeatedly made complaints about the way in which some parties and individuals have been breaking the rules and regulations laid down by the election commission, but very little action has been taken."
