The National League for Democracy is a Burmese political party founded on 27 September 1988 . It is led by Aung San Suu Kyi , who acts as General Secretary. In the 1990 parliamentary elections, the party won 406 out of 489 seats (83%), but the ruling Military Junta formerly known as SLORC , now SPDC , did not let it form a government. NLD is a member of the National Coalition Government Of The Union Of Burma (NCGGUB). The NLD is distinct from the NLD-LA (National League for Democracy-Liberated Areas), that operates in the Thai-Burma border areas as well as abroad, advocating the position of the NLD in calling for a tripartite dialougue between the SPDC, the NLD, and the ethnic minority groups. In 2001 , the government permitted NLD office branches to re-open throughout Myanmar. However, they were shut down or heavily restricted beginning 2004 , as part of a government campaign to prohibit such activities. |
