NAYPYIDAW: Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Thursday declared her intention to run for the presidency as she sets her sights on elections due to be held in 2015.
Addressing world leaders and heads of business at a major forum in the capital Naypyidaw, the Nobel Peace laureate called for the amendment of the military-drafted constitution which prevents her from leading the country.
“I want to run for president and I'm quite frank about it,” the veteran democracy activist told delegates at the World Economic Forum on East Asia.
