Aung San Suu Kyi's party is preparing a proposal to grant her a new, powerful position that will allow her more control over the government in Myanmar.
Her party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), won the landslide victory (http://mashable.com/2015/11/13/suu-kyi-wins-myanmar/) in the elections last year, making history by forming the Southeast Asian country's first civilian government in more than 50 years.
