Myanmar's draft constitution ensures that pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi cannot make a political comeback and guarantees a strong military presence in parliament, according to a copy of the proposed charter obtained Monday.

The draft constitution was completed in February but has not been made public. A copy of the 457-article, 194-page proposed charter was obtained by The Associated Press. The draft charter allots 25% of seats in both houses of parliament to the military.
