An ethnic Arakanese lawmaker from the Arakan National Party (ANP) and an ethnic Kachin member of the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) have been nominated as deputy speakers, according to AFP.

NLD chairwoman Aung San Suu Kyi has vowed to appoint ethnic minorities and members of other political parties among its cabinet to promote national reconciliation.

“We will include ethnic representatives who are not NLD members, and others who can benefit the country,” Suu Kyi told Radio Free Asia shortly after her party was elected.
