Htin Kyaw, a confidant of Myanmar's Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, was chosen on Tuesday by parliament to be the country's new president.
Htin Kyaw, 70, was nominated by the lower house as the opposition party National League for Democracy (NLD) takes power.
Because Suu Kyi was married to a foreign national, she is constitutionally unable to become president, though she has stated she will be in charge of the government.
