(From AL Jazeera News)
More than 20 senior officials in Myanmar's military government have reportedly given up their uniforms in an apparent move to run as civilians in national elections expected to be held later this year.
The officials, including Thein Sein, Myanmar's prime minister, are all expected to retain their cabinet posts in the lead up to the vote.
Government officials have confirmed the move to foreign news agencies, although no mention of the change has been made in Myanmar's state media.
More ministers and deputy ministers are expected to resign from their military posts in the coming days.
