Aung San Suu Kyi meets breakaway opposition leaders

Myanmar's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has met with former colleagues who disagreed with her election boycott and formed a new party to fight the controversial poll. The leader of the breakaway group, Khin Maung Swe said, the one-hour meeting between Ms Suu Kyi and three leaders of the National Democratic Force (NDF) was first with the group since her release from house arrest following the November vote. He said, it was just a personal meeting. We didn't talk about politics and will meet again. The breakaway group won 16 seats in the election after fielding 161 candidates but has complained of widespread fraud by the junta-backed party, which has claimed an overwhelming victory.
