Myanmar is going to polls on November 8. This will be the second general election in the country since the full military rule ended there in 2011.

In 2015, Aung-San-Suu-Kyi and her party, the National League for Democracy, rode to power through a landslide victory. Suu Kyi's name has always dominated Myanmar’s politics. She began her career in politics through student protests against Myanmar’s military rule in 1988.

The pro-democracy movement saw her emerge as a leader. But soon, as the movement was crushed, many leaders including her were imprisoned.
