YANGON: Booted from Aung San Suu Kyi’s “chaotic and autocratic” party, one female Member of Parliament (MP) is now taking on Myanmar’s national heroine in the upcoming election, claiming the country needs to work with, not against, a military accused of genocide.

Voters are expected to return Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) party to power at the November 8 polls — only the second since the country emerged from decades of outright military rule — but Thet Thet Khine is still hoping to make her mark.
