缅甸反对党领袖昂山素季向支持者发表公开信，为自己未能成为下届总统而表示歉意。
昂山素季星期四在社交媒体上发表公开信后不久，缅甸议会就将启动遴选下届总统的程序。昂山素季为“未能满足人民的心愿”而道歉。
昂山素季表示，她将继续努力，并呼吁民众继续支持“以和平方式实现目标”。
在去年11月举行的大选中，昂山素季的全国民主联盟获得议会多数地位。但缅甸军方制订的宪法规定，昂山素季因其儿子是外国公民而不得担任总统。
缅甸议会将选出三位副总统，分别来自上院、下院和军方，然后由议会进行全体表决，其中一人将成为下届总统。
新政府将于4月1日就任。
Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has released a letter to her supporters apologizing for not becoming the country’s next president.
In the letter posted to social media Thursday shortly before Myanmar’s parliament began the process of selecting the new chief executive, the Nobel Laureate apologized for “not fully fulfilling the people’s desire.”
She added that she would persevere and asked for people’s continued support “to reach the goal peacefully.”
Her National League for Democracy party (NLD), won an overwhelming number of seats in parliament during November’s general election. But a clause in the military written constitution prevents her from assuming the nation’s top job because her sons have foreign citizenship.
The parliament in Naypyidaw will begin the presidential selection process by first choosing three vice-presidents, one from the lower house, one from the upper house and one from the military. After a vetting period, the entire parliament will select one of the three to become the nation’s next president.
The new government will take office on April 1.
