Myanmar vice president Nyan Tun

Nyan Tun, Myanmar's navy chief who is in his late 50s, is elected as vice president of the country today.
The role of the vice-presidents has been largely ceremonial, so it is unclear what influence Nyan Tun might have on policy, although he will sit on bodies such as the National Defence and Security Council and the Finance Commission.

Several people who knew Nyan Tun, including some who had worked under him, described him as a political moderate.
