Myanmar's parliament set to vote on presidential nominees on Monday.
After her party won a landslide victory in parliamentary elections last year, Nobel peace prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi was well-placed to lead Myanmar.
But her two sons are British, and under the country's military-drafted constitution, that prevents her from becoming president.
Having failed to convince the army to let her run anyway, she has named Htin Kyaw, a man from her inner circle, as presidential nominee.
It's widely seen as a way for Suu Kyi to rule Myanmar indirectly.
