http://www.euronews.net/ Myanmar democracy leader Aung San Suu kyi is to stand as a candidate in an upcoming by-election.
Her announcement comes just three days after her party ended its boycott of the country's political system.
The change of tactics by Suu Kyi could be linked to a forth coming visit by the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. She will be the highest-ranked American to enter Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, since the 1962 military coup.
