今日のテキスト SUU KYI AIDE ELECTED

Lawmakers in Myanmar have elected a close aide to Aung San Suu Kyi as the country's next president. She's barred from the top job because of the constitution written by the former military government.
Members of the parliament voted for the position, choosing between three candidates.

"We announce that Htin Kyaw has won the majority of votes and has been selected to be the president of Myanmar."

The 69-year-old studied in London and was a government official specializing in economics. He'll be the first president without a military background in more than half a century.
The other contestants will become vice presidents. They are Henry Vantriu, an upper house lawmaker from the ethnic Chin minority, and Myint Swe, who was backed by the military. All three will assume office on March 30th.
