Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, says its up the ‘will of the people,’ not a Constitutional clause that forbids anyone with a foreign spouse or children from becoming president.
Katmandu, Nepal — Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi said it is up to the will of the people of her country if she becomes their president, reacting Monday to a vote against changing a constitutional clause that bars her from the office.
“Whether or not I become the president in the future depends on the will of the people, their will with regard to amending the constitution and their will with regard to whom they wish to choose as a president,” she said at the end of a four-day visit to Nepal.
The Myanmar Constitution bars anyone whose spouse or children are loyal to foreign countries from becoming president or vice president. Suu Kyi’s late husband and her two sons are British citizens.
