Myanmar's Union Election Commission (UEC) announced 106 parliament representatives-elect on Tuesday as the first-day election result, including 54 to the House of Representatives and 52 to Region or State parliament.
Of the 54 seats in the House of Representatives, the opposition National League for Democracy (NLD) dominates with 49, mostly in the Yangon region, while that of the ruling Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) takes three. The Wa Democratic Party and Kachin State Democracy Party have one each.
The NLD swept 47 of the 52 seats in Region or State parliament, the USDP won three and the Wa Democratic Party took two.
So far, the NLD has secured a total of 96 parliamentary seats in two levels of parliament, according to the first-day election result.
The remaining series of the results will be announced on a daily basis by the commission, said UEC Chairman U Tin Aye.
The 106 people announced Tuesday will become parliament representatives in Yangon, Bago, Mandalay and Ayeyawaddy regions and the Shan state.
A total of 6,038 candidates from 91 political parties and 310 independent runners are competing for more than 1,000 seats at three levels of parliament in Myanmar's election held on Sunday.
Of the total, 1,733 candidates are running for seats of the House of Representatives (Lower House), 886 for the House of Nationalities (Upper House), and 3,419 for Region or State Parliament.
The general election excluded seven townships in Shan state and 454 village-tracts in other states for security reason.
The historic election was held under the secret polling system and closely monitored by more than 10,000 local and international observers.
