Prior to 2020 election, Suu Kyi h promised to decrease proportion of seats reserved for military. Burmese Army currently controls 25 percent of parliamentary seats, on which civilian parties cant fight elections. Myanmar is a young democracy, with military ruling country for most part of its independent history. When military finally decided to let go of control following revolution in 2011, it reserved seats for itself in Parliament while drafting Constitution.
