Polls to be held only in junta-held regions
-
Myanmar's junta acknowledged its long-promised election would not be held in about one in seven national parliament constituencies, as it battles myriad rebel forces opposed to the poll.

The military has touted elections due to start in phases on Dec 28 - as a path to reconciliation.
