Myanmar's election panel has released results showing that Aung San Suu Kyi's opposition party has secured a historic majority in Myanmar's Parliament.
With the tally still being counted, the Election Commission said Friday that Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party has won 15 more seats, pushing it over the threshold it needed of 329 seats for a majority in the 664-member, two-house Parliament.
A party with a combined parliamentary majority is able to select the next president, who can then name a Cabinet and form a new government.
The tally from Sunday's vote was still being counted and final results were not expected for several days.
But the incoming results confirmed a landslide win for the opposition and a resounding rejection of military rule in Myanmar. The country has been under military control for half a century.
