Myanmar begins presidential selection as Aung San Suu Kyi ruled out

Myanmar's National League for Democracy (NLD) has named two candidates, as the country starts the process of selecting a new president.

Correspondents say one of them, Htin Kyaw, is almost certain to be elected president by the NLD-controlled parliament.

The nominations confirm that NLD leader Aung San Suu Kyi will not be president of the country.
