Myanmar Prime Minister Thein Sein has warned citizens to protect the country's image during the Nov 7 elections and to prevent anyone from derailing the first polls in 20 years, in the first such warning from a senior official.
Though he did not elaborate on any alleged threat, the military government's biggest perceived threat is detained pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
Her National League for Democracy opposition party is boycotting the elections and Ms Suu Kyi has said through a spokesman that dissatisfied voters have the right not to vote - stopping short of calling for a voter boycott. AP
