"I will run the government and we will have a president who will work in accordance with the policies of the NLD (National League for Democracy)," she told reporters. Under the military-scripted constitution, Suu Kyi, 70, is barred from running for the presidency by a clause believed to have been written specifically to thwart her bid for the country's top office. The clause blocks those with foreign-born offspring taking the top post. Suu Kyi has towered over Myanmar's politics after a decades-long struggle for democracy and her party is expected to make major gains at Sunday's polls. Many hope the election will be the country's freest and fairest for a generation. An opposition win could see the military's longstanding stranglehold over the country eased. But the army retains a 25 percent bloc of seats in parliament -- gifted by the same controversial charter. Its lawmakers essentially have a veto over major policy, including any changes to the constitution. Observers say Suu Kyi could seek an alliance with a compromise candidate for the presidency, which will be decided after the election. - YANGON, Nov 5, 2015 (AFP) -
