The Acting President said that his government had to take responsibility for the country due to the voter fraud in the 2020 multi-party democratic general election. Therefore, the election they held was a free, fair and dignified election without voter fraud and voter registration errors, and they were able to hold a successful election. Although the state spent a lot of money on the election, the election was held in phases, which saved money, as well as administration, management and security. Regarding the advance voting, which was carried out systematically, they have made systematic preparations to prevent voter fraud. They have systematically recorded those who were unable to vote for various reasons and have made arrangements to vote in advance. They are very grateful to the people who voted during the election. It is a matter of pride for the country that they truly accepted the multi-party democratic system and voted peacefully in an orderly manner in accordance with the dignity of the country.

Similarly, they have made efforts to allow political parties to participate in the election. The acting president said that the PR system was implemented to allow small parties and ethnic representatives to participate in the political stage of the parliament. Representatives from all regions and ethnic parties were also allowed to participate in the parliament and discuss their regional interests and aspirations. As a result of this, representatives from ethnic parties and small parties have increased their participation in this election. A total of 57 parties competed, of which six competed in all regions and states. Representatives from 31 parties and one independent representative were elected.

According to the current voter list results, the Union Solidarity and Development Party received 44.19 percent, the National Unity Party received 13.34 percent, the People’s Party received 8.85 percent, the People’s Pioneer Party received 7.65 percent, and the Shan and Ethnic Democratic Party received 6.17 percent. Similarly, representatives from ethnic parties also participated and won. The acting president said that the multi-party system was implemented in a clear manner because they used the PR system, and that they systematically implemented the Political Parties Registration Law.

He said that by looking at the results of the votes obtained, the strength of party members can be estimated, that political parties cannot be separated from the people, that parties that have a lot of contact with the people and have been able to organize party members have received the support of the people, that political parties can learn a lesson that they must prepare systematically before the election, that they need to make the people aware of the party’s policies and rules and organize, that they must make efforts to make the elections better than this one in the future, and that if the parties have any doubts about the election results obtained, they can submit them to the Election Commission in accordance with the procedures, the acting president said.

In addition, Acting President Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said that when his government took office, the Election Commission was reorganized and systematically scrutinized the 2020 multi-party democratic general election and necessary measures were taken. Then, it was seen that the preparatory work for the election and the enactment of electoral laws were systematically carried out. Therefore, he thanked not only the current Election Commission Chairman and members, but also the previous Election Commission during his government.

The meeting was attended by Commission Vice Chairman Lt. Gen. Soe Win, Prime Minister U Nyo Saw, Chief Executive U Aung Lin Dway, Commission Secretary General Ye Win Oo, Commission members, Union Ministers, Commission Chairman, Nay Pyi Taw Council Chairman, Region and State Chief Ministers, Election Commission members, Deputy Ministers and officials.
