v Fact Book of Political Parties in Myanmar (2010-2012)

Introduction The 2010 election was significant as it witnessed the revitalization of key political actors and political parties which had disappeared from the political arena for about 50 years. This political transition gives Myanmar civil society organizations an opportunity to better address the needs of the public and promote transparency. Myanmar Development Research has been involved in research topics such as socio-economic affairs, infrastructure development, market potential, policies and structure of organizations and other general research. Since Cyclone Nargis, MDR has conducted research by building strong relationships with communities, social organizations, ministries and government departments, parliamentarians and international organizations. Based on the research experiences of MDR in various sectors, people at all levels and organizations with different background and interests, MDR realizes the necessity of collaborating with individuals and organizations from all sectors in transitioning to a full democracy. At the same time, MDR recognizes the difficulties that different stakeholders have faced in working collaboratively. Limited access to valid information and reliable information sources by different stakeholders can be seen as challenges in indentifying whom they should connect with trust. Therefore, the primary purpose of this factbook is to act as a catalyst for building cooperation among different stakeholders who are striving for a transition which could create a democratic society with equitable chances and enabling environment for all.

vi Myanmar Development Research

The Methodology and Process Myanmar Development Research has taken the following methodological steps and process in creating the factbook: (1) MDR consulted civil society organization leaders and political party leaders for references and guidance in the initial stages of the book. (2) In the first week of June 2013, MDR met with the Union Election Commission for statistical data and references. The Commission gave valuable insight based on their experiences and commended MDR on their efforts on the project, highlighting the importance of this undertaking. (3) With the help of Capacity Building Initiative from Local Resource Centre MDR was able to publicize the factbook and get feedback on the project from other civil society organizations before starting the data collection. (4) Additionally, MDR sent formal letters to all 56 parties requesting support and advice. (5) MDR conducted a weeklong trial data collection before officially collecting data in the third week of June. (6) Actual data collection began in the last week of June. MDR researchers had scheduled appointments with party spokespersons and leaders for data collection well before actual data collection. Arrangements were also made to meet with executive members of parties to address research questions as they came up. In circumstances where a face to face discussion for data collection was not possible, MDR communicated through mail, phone call,fax or through other available means. (7) MDR researchers maintained a list of collected data and made every attempt possible to contact party representatives to verify facts via phone or mail. These facts were also cross-checked with information from the Election Commission. (8) Researchers maintained contact with parties by regularly communicating through mail and phone calls to ensure data received in time. (9) MDR researchers put their great efforts, worked day and night to make the fact book ready to print in time. (10) As a final step, the “Fact Book of Political Parties in Myanmar (2010-2012)” willbe presented to civil society organizations, political parties, and the concerned government departments and the people of Myanmar through a launching ceremony in the last week of March 2014.

vii Fact Book of Political Parties in Myanmar (2010-2012)

Difficulties and Challenges Myanmar Development Research faced various challenges from the beginning of the data collection for the fact book. These challenges MDR faced with are reflective of the challenges facing most political parties in Myanmar. Due to all these challenges and difficulties, MDR was not able to fulfill its desire to provide as much detailed information as possible. These difficulties are as listed: (1) While all of the parties wished to support MDR by providing accurate data, the parties themselves lacked a systematic system to collect data and did not have proper record keep system or data-base system for most of the important information and data such as number of party members, party gender distribution, representative’s biographies, number of representatives in parliamentary committees, number of drafts of laws submitted by representatives and number of bill proposals from party representatives. MDR experienced delays in data collection and is missing some facts in the factbook because the facts were not confirmed by the party. (2) Some of the parties did not have information on proposals, questions and drafts of bills submitted by their party’s representatives. (3) MDR referenced data provided by the Union Election Commission when parties were not able to send data in time. (4) MDR found difficulty for parties that wanted to modify and update their data in the final stages of the project and after the deadline for sending the information and data at latest. (5) Throughout the process of organizing the fact book, Myanmar Development Research has tried to consider the viewpoints of all parties and has made every attempt to give an unbiased synopsis of providing the information, especially such as “Brief Background of the Party”, keeping the ethical notion of “Do No Harm”. Accordingly, MDR did as little editing as possible on some statements of one party that might be negatively interpreted by another party or other parties, while tightly maintaining the view and narrative of the parties. (6) At last, MDR admit that the fact book is not a flawless and perfect one, apologizing in advance for any inconvenience caused for its users.

viii Myanmar Development Research

The Structure of the Fact Book “The Fact Book of Political Parties in Myanmar (2010 - 2012) ” is the compilation of facts for the56 political parties in Myanmar starting from the pre-election period in 2010 to the post-election period in June 2013. The facts and information of the fact book is presented by three different sessions- (1) Parties which competed in the 2010 and 2012 elections and won the seats (2) Parties which competed in 2010 and 2012 elections but did not win any seats (3) Parties which have not yet competed in the 2010 and 2012 elections The data for each party is organized as follows: (1) Party flag and logo (2) Brief history of party (3) Party motto (4) Member of Central Executive Committee (CEC) (5) Number of party members (6) Party spokesman (7) Headquarter and branch locations (8) Number of constituents (9) Number of elected MPs and (10) Brief biography of MPs. The biography also includes descriptions of parliamentary committees, committees for which in party representatives are responsible and the draft bills, proposals and questions representatives have submitted. The fact book is published in Myanmar and also in English. A soft copy of the book in two languages is located inside of the back- cover. Table of Contents for the CD: (1) Table1. Number of Representatives in Amyotha Hluttaw, Pyithu Hluttaw and State/Regional Hluttaw (2010) *Note: table also included in the book. (2) Table 2. Party Representatives in Amyotha Hluttaw and their Constituencies (2010) (3) Table 3. Party Representatives in Pyithu Hluttaw and their Constituencies (2010) We believe “The Fact Book of Political Parties in Myanmar (2010 - 2012)” will have a variety of usefulness for different types of users. In the near future, MDR aims to present timely and valuable information to different stakeholders, continuously taking the role of the civil society.

Party Flag Party Logo

Brief Party Background

The National Democratic Force (NDF) was founded on 25 May, 2010 and it received party registration on 9 September, 2010 (registration number 38). The party was established by 19 founding members, and formed two wings- the Political leading Committee and Central Executive Committee. U Khin Maung Swe has been playing the role of party leader and Dr. Than Nyein has been leading the central executive committee. The party entered the 2010 election competing for 161 seats in total for different Hluttaws in the 2010 elections. The party competed against the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP)and won 16 seats in total-specifically 4 seats in Pyidaungsu Hluttaw and 8 seats in Pyithu Hluttaw, and 4 seats in the Regional Hluttaw. In the 2012 by-election, the party first entered in 13 constituencies, but later ended upwith11 constituencies since two constituencies- Phar Kant and Moe Kaung of Kachin State were removed from the list. The party won no seats in the by-election. On 10 January, 2011 Dr. Than Nyein retired from his role of party leader due to health conditions and thus, U Khin Maung Swe became party leader. At the same time, the vacant seats of the Party CEC were filled through internal elections. In November 2010, U Thein Nyunt, then the second party leader, and the other four elected MPs set up a separate party. The three other elected MPs resigned from the party and joined the National League for Democracy (NLD). On 1 January, 2013 one of the party members Dr. Tin Shwe was appointed as Deputy Minister at the Ministry of Hotel and Tourism.

National League for Democracy

Party Flag Party Logo

Brief Party Background

In 1988, the country revolted against the dictatorship but was oppressed by the army. After the 88 movement, various political groups united to oppose the dictatorship. The group lead by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi with technocrats, U Tin Oo with war veterans and the group led by U Aung Gyi (former General) were united together as the “Aung Su Tin” group, and continuously fought for Democracy. When the government announced to hold elections, on 27, September, 1988 the National League for Democracy (NLD) vowed not to give up until they attained democracy. In the 1990 election, although the party had won most of the constituencies in a landslide the military government did not recognize the result of the election. U Tin Oo and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi were arrested and detained. In the 2010 election, the NLD did not compete believing that it was not transparent and unfair. Their participation in the election was also cancelled, because the party chairman, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was under house arrest. In the 2012 By elections, the party competed for seats in 44 vacant constituencies and won 43 seats.
