Vijay Nambiar, the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's chief of staff, said at the end of his two-day Burma visit that "strong concerns were expressed by many parties about the process and outcome of the recent elections''.

He said he had urged the government and the election commission to address these "as transparently as possible''.
