Burma: Opposition Party Appears Poised for Sweeping Win 
--------------------------------------------------------


 
In Burma, the opposition party led by Aung San Suu Kyi appears poised
for a sweeping victory in the first openly contested national elections
in 25 years. The National League for Democracy party said it expects to
win about 70 percent of seats. Aung San Suu Kyi herself is barred from
the presidency under a military-drafted constitution.
