In a November 21 statement, the ethnic armed group also called on the NLD government to immediately release on humanitarian grounds Arakanese civilians and politicians arrested on suspicion of having ties to the AA; relatives of the United League of Arakan, the political wing of the AA; and anti-war student protesters detained in recent months for demonstrating. NLD spokesman Dr. Myo Nyunt said there would be significant progress in the peace process if the Arakan Army avoids “terrorist acts” like abducting innocent civilians, and instead engages in political dialogue. “We believe the government will make a constructive move like releasing prisoners as a gesture of welcoming the peace process,” he said. The three NLD candidates — Daw Ni Ni May Myint, Daw Chit Chit Chaw and U Min Aung — were arrested by the AA during election campaigning in Taungup Township, Arakan State, on October 14. The NLD has twice called for the release of the trio, most recently on November 18. The Arakan Army has also asked that elections be held in Arakan State townships where voting was cancelled in the November 8 general election before a new administration takes office next year. “It is high time [all sides] walked the walk, not just talked the talk, for national reconciliation,” said the AA statement. In recent weeks, hopes have been raised for a de-escalation of the conflict between the Arakan Army and the Tatmadaw after the latter welcomed a November 12 statement from the former calling for military cooperation in order to hold elections by the end of the year. Political observers and lawmakers have viewed the statements from the Tatmadaw and the AA as holding the potential to help bring peace to Arakan State, but those optimistic assessments have been accompanied by calls for practical actions. The Three Brotherhood Alliance, which includes the Arakan Army, has urged the Myanmar government to withdraw its declaration of ethnic armed organisations as terrorist groups and unlawful associations in order to build trust in the peace process. (The government and Page 2 of 41 military jointly declared the Arakan Army to be a terrorist group and unlawful association on March 23.) According to the Rakhine Ethnics Congress, more than 236,000 people have been displaced by the fighting in Arakan State. But as clashes have de-escalated in recent weeks, some displaced persons (IDPs) have begun returning to their homes. https://www.bnionline.net/en/news/arakan-army-signals-willingness-release-abducted-nld- candidates ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Myanmar’s ruling party refuses to negotiate with AA on Rakhine hostages Min Wathan | 22 NOV 2020 The ruling party National League for Democracy (NLD) said it will not negotiate with the Arakan Army over the release of the three NLD candidates the ethnic armed group seized in restive Rakhine State more than a month ago. U Myo Nyint, a spokesperson of the NLD, said the party has no right to negotiate with an ethnic armed group, especially one that was declared a terrorist organisation by the government. AA fighters abducted the three NLD candidates, Daw Ni Ni May Myint, Daw Chit Chit Chaw and U Min Aung in Haung Khar village in Taunggok township in the morning of October 14. The NLD said AA has seized the three candidates on suspicion of a traitor to the Arakan people. In a statement on November 21, the predominantly Buddhist AA said that it is ready to release the three captives provided the government release as soon as possible Rakhine residents and Rakhine politicians who have been imprisoned, relatives of United League of Arakan, the organisation’s political wing, and AA members and university students who have been wrongly detained. The AA acknowledged and welcomed the decision of the Myanmar electorate who gave the NLD an overwhelming victory to continue governing the country in the next five years. It also assured the NLD that the captives are being treated well and that they would be released as soon as its demands are met. “We are a political party. At the moment, we have no right to meet a terrorist group according to the law. The group can only meet and negotiate the government and Tatmadaw and officials who are involved in peace and security work,” said U Myo Nyunt. The government declared the NLD a terrorist organisation on March 23, due to unrelenting attacks against government forces in far-flung outposts in Rakhine and Chin states that resulted in the killing of at least 29 policemen. Page 3 of 41 Established in 2009, the AA is fighting for autonomy from the Myanmar government. Fighting broke out when the AA tried to establish a base in Mrauk-U town in Rakhine in November 2018. - Translated https://www.mmtimes.com/news/myanmars-ruling-party-refuses-negotiate-aa-rakhine- hostages.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NLD MP-Elect Shot Dead in Kyaukme District By NANG SENG NOM - November 23, 2020 Unidentified gunmen shot and killed National League for Democracy (NLD) parliamentarian elect for Kyaukme District on Friday evening. NLD new candidate shoot Hteik Zaw, who was elected to the Upper House on November 8, was shot by two gunmen on a motorbike outside his home in Pin Tein village in northern Shan State’s Kyaukme Township at 6:00 p.m. on November 21. “Two men came with a motorbike. Then they shot dead him with small gun,” a police officer told SHAN, referring to a pistol. Shot in the chest, Hteik Zaw was immediately sent to Kyaukme public hospital, where he later died. No one has been arrested for the murder. Unidentified gunmen also shot at the house of Soe Htun, chair of the Kyaukme Township Election Commission, on the night of November 14. No one was injured in that shooting, and no arrests have been made. https://english.shannews.org/archives/22190 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shooting Death of Newly Elected Myanmar Lawmaker Condemned as ‘Lawless Act’ 2020-11-23 Myanmar political parties and ethnic armies condemned the weekend shooting death of a newly elected ruling party member of parliament by unknown assailants in turbulent Shan state two weeks after a largely peaceful nationwide vote. It was not immediately clear if the killing of Htike Zaw, who had just won a seat for the National League for Democracy (NLD) representing northern Shan state in the upper house Page 4 of 41 of parliament, was motivated by politics or a personal matter in a region that has seen shootings and armed skirmishes among militiamen. Friends and relatives mourn the death of lawmaker- elect Htike Zaw, a National League for Democracy politician gunned down by unknown assailants, at his funeral in Kyaukme township, Myanmar's northern Shan state, Nov. 22, 2020.

  • 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.
