Answer
Thein Sein did not seek re-election after the end of his presidential term in 2016. His decision not to run again marked a significant departure from Myanmar's previous political landscape, where leaders often held power for extended periods. Sein's choice paved the way for a democratic transition and the peaceful transfer of power to the National League for Democracy, led by Aung San Suu Kyi, in 2016.
