Win Myint
former political prisoner who was the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Myanmar
since from 2016 to 2018. He currently serves as a Pyithu Hluttaw MP for Tamwe Township.[1] In
the 1990 general election, he was elected as an Pyithu Hluttaw MP, winning a majority of 20,388
(56% of the votes), but was never allowed to assume his seat.[2]
He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in geology from the Rangoon Arts and Science
University.[2] In 1985, he became a High Court advocate.[2]
On 21 March 2018, following the resignation of Htin Kyaw as President of Myanmar, Win
Myint resigned as Speaker of the Pyithu Hluttaw, a move seen by many as a preparation by the
National League for Democracy for Win Myint to be put forward as a candidate for the
presidency.
