| Aung San Suu Kyi: Myanmar polls were 'not free but fair' | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has told the BBC that Sunday's elections were "not free but fair". | |
| In an exclusive interview, Ms Suu Kyi congratulated the people of Myanmar. Early results point to a sweeping victory for her party. | |
| Under the constitution she cannot become president, but she said that as party leader she would "find one". | |
| After decades of military rule, the polls were widely considered to be the most democratic in 25 years. | |
| Official tallies have been trickling in since Sunday's election and the final result will not be known for days. | |
| But Ms Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) has won most of the seats declared so far. | |
| The military-backed Union Solidarity Development Party (USDP) has been in power since 2011 when the country began its transition to civilian rule. | |
| Asked if the elections could be sabotaged, Ms Suu Kyi answered that they would be sabotaging the will of the people. | |
| The selection of the president is not expected till February or even later next year. |
