Myanmar president Thein Sein congratulated Aung San Suu Kyi's opposition party on its success in Sunday’s polls. Ms Suu Kyi has written to the leadership requesting talks on national reconciliation, but the president’s spokesman has delayed any meetings until after the final results are announced. Correspondents say Ms Suu Kyi is treading carefully despite her landslide victory. The NLD won elections decisively in 1990 - only for the result to be nullified and Ms Suu Kyi placed under long-term house arrest. The ruling military-backed Union Solidarity Development Party - which won the last, widely criticised election five years ago - has only won 5% of the seats being contested. A quarter of seats are reserved for the military. An anti-persecution charity has called on Myanmar's military government to accept the will of the people in the country's first free election for a quarter of a century.
