緬甸確定11月舉行全國選舉大綱
Myanmar has announced that the country's long-awaited National election will be held on November 8.
The opposition National League for Democracy, headed by Aung San Suu Kyi, is expected to continue its strong performance at the polls.
But Aung San Suu Kyi will be unable to run for president, after the military-dominated parliament last month rejected a constitutional reform measure. The measure would have ended the army's legislative veto power, making it easier to change the constitution.
Under the current charter, Myanmar's military has 25 guaranteed parliament seats, enough to block constitutional changes it does not like.
The constitution forbids anyone with foreign children from running for president. Aung San Suu Kyi, whose sons are British, is ineligible for the post.
The decision was seen as a setback for Myanmar's political transition, which began in 2011 when the military, which had ruled the country for decades, handed power to a mostly civilian government.緬甸宣佈，人們期待已久的全國選舉將於11月8號舉行。
預計，昂山素季領導的反對黨全國民主聯盟在選舉中將有強勢表現。
但軍方主導的議會上個月否決了一項憲法改革議案，致使昂山素季本人不能競選總統。這項議案將旨在結束軍方的立法否決權，能更容易修改憲法。
目前的憲法確保軍方在議會擁有25個席位，足以阻止軍方不喜歡的任何憲法修訂。
緬甸憲法禁止任何有外國籍子女的人競選總統。昂山素季的兒子是英國籍，因此不符合競選總統條件。
這個決定被視爲緬甸政治變革的一次挫折。2011年，統治緬甸數十年的軍方將權力交給了一個主要由文官組成的政府，開啓了緬甸的政治變革。
