BREAKING NEWS: Myanmar's ruling party USDP concedes defeat to Aung San Suu Kyi's NLD in historic election.

As the count began in earnest, early indications were of an "80 per cent" turnout, according to Union Election Commission deputy director Thant Zin Aung -- a figure the opposition believe favours their bid for a majority. Thousands of supporters -- many decked out in the red of Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) -- gathered outside the party's Yangon headquarters in the hope of some indication of victory from Suu Kyi.
