Myanmar's opposition party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), has reappointed Aung San Suu Kyi as its leader at the end of its first ever congress.
She had earlier appealed for unity, addressing party delegates in Yangon.
After the party won elections in 1990, its activities were severely restricted by Myanmar's military rulers.
But it won seats in parliament last year following reforms by the new civilian government and is looking towards elections in 2015.
The BBC reports she is one of four women on the NLD's 15-member executive.
Aung San Suu Kyi, 67, was among those elected to parliament last year and, in her speech on Saturday, the NLD chairwoman acknowledged there had been infighting and factionalism within the party.
"For the benefit of the country we should unite and get along," the Nobel laureate told the assembled 900 delegates.
Now, with a real chance of the party taking office in two years' time, Aung San Suu Kyi has called for younger members to be allowed to "strengthen the party with new blood".
