#MYANMAR #no #election #delay after considering consequences for postponement

Union Election Commission (UEC), chairman of the Union Election Commission (UEC), yesterday held a meeting with major political parties asking them if the election set for November 8 should be postponed. He cited the ongoing natural disasters as the reason although they have not happened on a nationwide scale.

However in the late evening, UEC announced there would be no delay and the election would take place as previously scheduled because of possible consequences for the postponement.

It was attended by the National Unity Party, the National Democratic Force Party, the Rakhine National Party, the Union Solidarity and Development Party, the National League for Democracy Party and Myanmar Peasant Development Party.

“I know the postponement of the election since the earlier period. The opposition National League for Democracy (NLD) put forward it. The Peasants’ Party is also the same matter. Some of Chin parties also do the same matter. For my side, I urged the UEC to right with the voter lists. As you know, the natural disasters are taking place until now,” Tin Aye told the media.

“The wide parts of the country are seeing natural disasters today. I thought that if the people would able to vote with peace of mind in case of the natural disaster, similarly if the political parties would be OK in their campaigns. For these reasons, the UEC met with major parties asked them whether they want to postpone the election. The main reason is the natural disaster,” Tin Aye said.

Ethnic armed groups removed from blacklist
The Ministry of Home Affairs announced on October 12 that three ethnic armed groups have been removed from the list of unlawful associations. These groups are among the eight that have pledged to sign the nationwide ceasefire agreement (NCA).

The ethnic delegation met with government representatives in Nay Pyi Taw on October 12, and the announcement was made during their meeting.

The three armed groups removed from the blacklist are the Karen National Union, the Restoration Council of Shan State/Shan State Army and the All Burma Students’ Democratic Front.

The project groups signing the NCA, including the Chin National Front, Pa-Oh National Liberation Organisation, Karen National Liberation Army – Peace Council, Democratic Karen Benevolent Army and Arakan Liberation Party, were not blacklisted.

Twenty local witnesses, including Aung San Suu Kyi and Khun Tun Oo, were invited to the NCA signing ceremony.

Suu Kyi expressed concern over the partial participation of ethnic armed groups in the agreement.

“We understood that the nationwide ceasefire would include the whole country. To the best of our knowledge, there are seventeen ethnic armed groups. And we learned that not more than eight groups will sign the deal. If we’re invited, the party will send a representative. But we want all ethnic groups to sign the agreement. We believe we should sign the agreement only if it’s signed by all parties. If we sign it without the others, we’re afraid it would estrange them. We welcome the progress on the ceasefire deal, but we’d like to participate in the agreement only if it’s fully inclusive,” Suu Kyi said on October 11.

The NLD will send its central committee member Win Htein to the signing ceremony as its representative. eleven media
