Myanmar voters braved long lines Sunday and were expected to return Aung San Suu Kyi and her ruling National League for Democracy party to power in a country racked with civil war and struggling with a surge in the coronavirus pandemic.

Polling before the vote indicated Myanmar’s voters will give the former political prisoner and Nobel laureate a second five-year term, after she won office in 2015 on a platform of establishing civilian government after five decades of harsh military rule and ending long and costly wars with armed ethnic groups.
