  • Political Monitor No.21
    Euro-Burma Office 6 - 12 September 2014 Political Monitor 2014 POLITICAL MONITOR NO. 21 OFFICIAL MEDIA ELECTION COMMISSION POSTPONES BY-ELECTIONS Union Election Commission Chairman Tin Aye announced in a meeting with political parties on 7 September that the by-elections to be held later this year would be cancelled citing concerns over costs and chairing ASEAN as reasons for the decision. Chairman Tin Aye explained that the Union Election Commission had initially told a parliamentary session on 20 May that the second by- elections would be held in late November or early December. However, now that the parliament is occupied with addressing constitutional and electoral reforms issues, holding by-elections would be burdensome on the political parties, some of whose representatives are members of the committees and commissions tasked with constitutional and electoral amendments. Tin Aye said that the government would have to spend over 2 billion kyats on two elections and, as a result, a second thought should be given to holding the elections as there is no telling whether the spending would benefit the country.1 PRESIDENT MAKES OFFICIAL VISIT TO SWITZERLAND President Thein Sein arrived in Switzerland on 4 September and held talks with Swiss President Didier Burkhalter and discussed a wide range of matters including improvement of vocational training schools, development of agriculture and livestock breeding sectors, capacity building for service personnel and local authorities, peace-making process, human rights promotion, constitutional affairs and holding of free and fair elections. They also exchanged views on peace and stability and the development of Rakhine State, as well as racial and religious conflict prevention and relations between ASEAN and regional countries.
