Presidency ban stays

MYANMAR’S ruling party yesterday released a draft bill on changes to its junta-era constitution that could end an effective army veto on charter amendments, but still bars opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi from the presidency.

Her National League for Democracy party is expected to sweep landmark elections slated for November, but she is barred from the top job under a provision that excludes those with a foreign spouse or children from the presidency.

Suu Kyi’s late husband and two sons are British.
