Aung Thein Lin, Yangon's mayor and a candidate from the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), attends a news conference at the party's headquarters in Yangon October 27, 2010. With candidates in all 1,158 constituencies - for seats in the two houses of parliament and 14 regional assemblies - the USDP is almost assured of overall victory in Myanmar's first election in 20 years scheduled for November 7. It is seen as the political juggernaut of the junta, armed with a big war chest and packed with recently retired military men. REUTERS/Soe Zeya Tun (MYANMAR - Tags: POLITICS ELECTIONS)
