General elections were held in Burma on 27 May 1990. They were the first since 1960, after which the country had been ruled by a military dictatorship.
The elections were won convincingly by Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy, who took 392 of the 492 seats. However, the military junta refused to recognize the results, and have since ruled the country as the State Peace and Development Council.
