  • Why Myanmar's 2020 Elections Matter
    ISSUE: 2020 No. 126 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 3 November 2020 Why Myanmar’s 2020 Elections Matter Moe Thuzar* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Myanmar’s 8 November general elections are proceeding as planned. Authorities are undeterred by concerns over the surge in Covid-19 cases and the ongoing conflict in several ethnic areas. • The Covid-19 pandemic has produced socio-economic challenges across Myanmar that will linger on long after the 8 November polls. • The ruling National League for Democracy (NLD) is widely expected to be given a second mandate in the polls, though with a smaller majority than in 2015. • In 2020 the NLD faces more critical voters than in 2015. A combination of factors has dented the NLD’s track record over the past five years, notwithstanding a few bright spots in the tackling of high-level corruption. • With a returned mandate, the NLD could institute a ‘second wave’ of reforms focusing on land rights, education, healthcare, and labour law reforms, in addition to socio-economic reforms, over 2021 to 2025. • Young people are showing a heightened interest in politics and national development issues, and are keen to participate. * Moe Thuzar is ISEAS Fellow and co-coordinator of the Myanmar Studies Programme at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2020 No. 126 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION On 1 July 2020, the chair of Myanmar’s Union Election Commission (UEC) announced November 8 as the date for general elections, disseminating the information via its Facebook page. Myanmar thus joined the ranks of countries conducting elections during the Covid- 19 pandemic.

We know that we are the lucky few who have had a chance to earn a high quality education abroad, usually because of our family’s f nancial capital, social capital or a combination of both. The majority of Myanmar youths across the country have not even dreamed of receiving such an opportunity. If we, the lucky few, do not create educational opportunities for Myanmar’s youths, then who will? I set foot on the rewarding journey of helping to shape the future of education in Myanmar soon after I defended my dissertation at Yale University in 2014. Not once have I regretted my choice. This journey would have been very rough had there not been strong f nancial and in-kind supporters. I am truly grateful for the generosity and faith of several foundations, such as Child’s Dream, Brighter Future Myanmar, B.K. Kee Foundation and City Love & Hope Foundation. I am professionally and personally indebted to supporters such as Mr.
