Ms Suu Kyi cannot be president herself as her sons hold British passports.
Ms Suu Kyi criticised the electoral process so far, saying it had been less than totally free and fair and that the electoral commission had failed to deal with irregularities.
She also briefly touched on the Rohingya, the persecuted mostly Muslim minority who Myanmar says are not citizens and who do not have a vote.
Ms Suu Kyi has been criticised for not speaking out on the issue, but in her news conference, she said the situation should not be exaggerated.
The constitution of Myanmar, also known as Burma, grants the military at least 25% of parliamentary seats.
The NLD and any allies will need to win at least two-thirds of the remaining seats in order to choose the next president.
