Myanmar's main opposition party, the National League for Democracy (NLD) led by Nobel peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, is expected to be disbanded on Thursday after it refused to re-register under controversial new election laws. NLD officials said the party would be forced to dissolve after it failed in a final legal bid on Wednesday to have the laws annulled. Under the legislation announced earlier this year, the party will be declared "null and void" if it does not to re-register by the end of Thursday. (cont...)
