Aung San Suu Kyi in climb down over parliament oath Some people might ask, given that we didn't accept the wording of 'safeguard' in the beginning, why we accept now. The reason we accept it, firstly is the desire of the people. Our voters voted for us because they want to see us in parliament. Members of the NLD - the main opposition force after securing 43 of the 44 seats it contested in the by-elections - are now set to attend the parliament on Tuesday morning "to take an oath," party MP Win Htein said. Ms Suu Kyi has spent much of the past two decades locked up, but was freed in 2010 and her election to parliament has been hailed by the international community as a step towards democracy in the long-isolated nation. Burma has seen a rapid improvement in relations with the West under a new reformist regime which has implemented a slew of positive changes since coming to power last year, including freeing political prisoners. Suu Kyi has shown increased confidence in the reformist government of President Thein Sein in recent weeks, calling for the suspension of EU sanctions and planning her first international trip in 24 years. Last week, European Union nations put a halt to most sanctions against the impoverished nation for one year to reward a series of dramatic reforms since direct army rule ended last year.
