Members of the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) campaign for Myanmar's upcoming elections, in Yangon October 5, 2010. Myanmar will hold its first election in two decades on November 7 as part of a process critics say has been carefully crafted to ensure the military retains its five-decade grip on power. The army-dominated political process has been dubbed an "election of generals" and widely dismissed as a sham, but there is hope that the system could spur reforms and gradually take power away from authoritarian military officers.
