Ill health has forced Aung San Suu Kyi to abruptly cancel further campaign travel, her party said Sunday, just a week before Myanmar by-elections that are seen as a key test of regime reforms. The Nobel laureate opposition leader, who is running for a seat in parliament in the April 1 polls, was put on a drip and ordered to rest by her doctor after falling ill in the town of Myeik in Myanmar’s far south. Looking tired and drawn, Suu Kyi arrived at Yangon airport after cutting short her visit, saying only that she was “not well”. Her doctor, Tin Myo Win, told AFP that Suu Kyi was getting better, but that he had asked that she cancel a final campaign trip on Tuesday and Wednesday to Magway, the central Myanmar region where her independence hero father was born.
