AUCKLAND, New Zealand—Sixty people marched here November 6 to protest military domination of parliamentary elections in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) that took place the following day. Although final results are not in, election officials are predicting supporters of the military swept the polls.

Myanmar has been under repressive military rule since a coup in 1962. These elections are the first since 1990, when the National League for Democracy (NLD) won. The military junta annulled those results, however. The NLD boycotted the current elections. NLD leader Aung San Suu Kyi, under house arrest for close to two decades, was released this November 13.

Twenty-five percent of seats in the Myanmar parliament are reserved for the military.
