The 2012 By-Elections –Will the Winner Take All? ANALYSIS PAPER No.1 2012
EBO The 2012 By-Elections –Will the Winner Take All? ANALYSIS PAPER No.1 2012 WILL THE WINNER TAKE ALL? EBO Analysis Paper No.1/2012 Many in the international community believe that if the by-elections on 1 April in Burma are ‘free and fair’, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi (DASSK) and her National League for Democracy (NLD) will win all 48 seats1. Is this true? Can the NLD sweep the board? First, while anything is possible, it is not probable. Why? The perception of a landslide is based on the 1990 general elections when the NLD won over 80% of the seats. This time with DASSK herself running, it is assumed that the results will be better. But the situation in Burma today is not what it was in 1990. Then, people were fed up with General Ne Win’s regime and euphoric about the possibility of a popular democratic transition. Today, people are hopeful that the reforms introduced by President Thein Sein in 2011 will usher in a new period of democracy and prosperity and fearful that any instability will set the reforms back. Second, half the voting population today did not have the vote in 1990. Most were not yet born or were too young. Other than DASSK, the electorate does not know the other candidates. The NLD does not have a track record, whereas, the ruling Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) has delivered tangible benefits since the new government took office in April 2011. Third, the 48 seats being contested are ‘safe’ seats of the USDP. -
