Question

What was similar and different about the elections that brought defeat to the ruling governments in the Philippines and in Burma?

Answer 1

In both elections, the winners were rejected by the governments. Burma, though, has never accepted Democracy.

Answer 2

Both of the governments had an election where the losing side didn't acknowledge nor accept the winner. The biggest difference here is that in the Philippines, they managed to remove Ferdinand Marcos from the country, but in Myanmar/Burma, the winner party was not handled the power and the most important political figure, Suu Kyi, was placed under house arrest.
