Myanmar pro-democracy parties say lost election

None

Myanmar's main pro-democracy parties conceded defeat on Tuesday in the country's first election in 20 years after the biggest military-backed party said it had won up to 80% of seats that were up for grabs.

 

The two largest pro-democracy parties accused the military junta of manipulating Sunday's election, which has been condemned by the United States, Europe and Japan as a sham to entrench military rule behind a civilian facade. (Reuters)
