Aung San Suu Kyi has said she hopes her victory in a landmark election will mark the beginning of a new era for Burma.
Ms Suu Kyi spoke to thousands of supporters outside her opposition party headquarters yesterday, a day after her party claimed she had won a parliamentary seat in closely watched by-elections.
The 66-year-old democracy champion called the election "a triumph of the people", and said: "We hope this will be the beginning of a new era."
