　　Disasters in Myanmar May Delay Elections

　　An elections commission has asked Myanmar topostpone the national vote because of recentnatural disasters.

　　The Union Election Commission wants the elections,set for November 8, delayed because of fatalflooding.

　　More than 100 people are reported to have died in floods in Chin State and the Sagaing Region.

　　About 1.6 million people have been "critically affected" because of recent flooding in Myanmar.That number comes from government agencies and the United Nations Office for theCoordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

　　In an emergency meeting Tuesday, only the National League for Democracy of Aung San SuuKyi objected to the delay, party officials said.

　　At least three parties have expressed support for the commission's proposal to delay theelections. They are the Union Solidarity Party, the Farmer's Development Party and the NationalDevelopment Party. Observers reported that three other parties said they would let thecommission decide when to hold the vote.

　　Several ethnic-based parties were invited to the emergency meeting, but did not attend.

　　The election commission earlier announced that the elections would not be held in hundredsof villages. Most of these villages are in Kachin and Shan ethnic areas, where armed groupscontinue to resist the central government.

　　Some observers suggest that one reason for a postponement may be political. Manyobservers believe the National League for Democracy will make major gains in the vote.
