YANGON, May 8 (Xinhua) -- Myanmar will hold parliamentary by-election to fill vacant seats on Nov. 3 this year, said a release of the Union Election Commission late Tuesday.
Of a total of 13 vacant parliamentary seats, four are with the House of Representative (Lower House), one with the House of Nationalities (Upper House) and eight with the state parliaments.
It will be the first parliamentary by-election after U Win Myint was elected as new president.
In the last general election on Nov. 8, 2015, the ruling National League for Democracy (NLD) won an absolute majority of the parliamentary seats.
