Myanmar will organise another by-election for 31 open parliamentary seats before its general election in late 2015.
The information was released by Chairman of the Union Election Commission (UEC) U Tin Aye at a March 20 session of the parliament's Lower House.
The date of the by-election will be announced three months in advance, he said.

On April 1, 2012, a by-election was held, in which the opposition party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), won 43 out of 45 open parliamentary seats with its chairperson Aung San Suu Kyi occupying a seat of the Lower House.-VNA
