Even though official election results have not been released, the new government will meet tomorrow as a 'democratically' elected government for the first time since the general elections in november. The military junta-linked party have also said that they won the elections with about 80% of the votes, and a quarter of the seats in parliament have been reserved for the military. The country's newspaper, 'The New Light of Myanmar' states that the elections have created a feeling of independence and patriotism, and that the election results were the 'fruit of democracy'.
