(CNN) -- Word started leaking out Tuesday about the results of Myanmar's controversial weekend elections, though the country's military regime had yet to announce any numbers.
"I believe that the [military-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party] could win between 80 to 90 percent of the whole parliament. And each smaller party would get few seats in order to make the parliament look like a true multiparty parliament," said an independent candidate who competed in the Yangon area. Yangon is the former national capital and is also known as Rangoon.
"This is a useless election," said the candidate, who spoke on condition of anonymity, because he feared for his safety.
"At first, we wanted to try running on this election, as we think that it could be an alternative way for democratic process for Myanmar," the disillusioned candidate said.
