Suu Kyi courts minority vote in Kachin
Aung San Suu Kyi yesterday told voters in war-torn Kachin state that her opposition party represents the "whole" of Myanmar and not just the majority ethnic group, as she courts the crucial minority vote ahead of November's landmark polls.
“The NLD does not represent any one ethnic group, including the (majority) Bamar ethnic group. We represent the whole union," she told voters in the former junta-run nation.
"If you want change, please vote for the NLD," she urged the crowd.
Kachin has become a key election battleground as ethnic parties are expected to make strong gains in the November 8 polls.
