Myanmar’s Post-Election Future: A New Beginning?

As votes continue to be tallied from Myanmar’s general election on Sunday, Aung Sang Suu Kyi’s ruling party, the NLD, is set to emerge victorious, handing the State Counsellor a second term. Nevertheless, despite this continuation of government, the party still faces many of the domestic and international challenges it has witnessed since coming to power in 2015.
