Former Burmese military junta chief Min Aung Hlaing was elected Myanmar’s 11th president on Friday after winning more than half the votes in parliament.

Lawmakers in the Union Parliament in the capital Nay Pyi Taw backed Min, 69, securing his victory in the presidential election, Xinhua News reported.

Min served as commander-in-chief of the armed forces, known as the Tatmadaw, from 2011 until stepping down in March to run for the presidency. He was succeeded by former intelligence chief Ye Win Oo, who assumed the role earlier this week.
