Myanmar Military Demands Proof November Election Was Fair

Speaker T Khun Myat has come under fire from the military for refusing its request to hold a special parliamentary session to examine fraud charges.

The military and USDP’s attempt to take electoral fraud claims to Parliament is irrelevant, Speaker T Khun Myat says.

Rakhine State politicians say calling the armed group a terrorist organization is an obstacle to peace.

Aiming to discredit the NLD’s landslide victory, the military and Union Solidarity and Development Party have pressed to take the election fraud claims to parliament.

Voting for most Rakhine State residents was canceled ahead of the November 8 general election amid fears of Arakan Army violence.

U Zaw Htay dismissed a legal challenge against the two leaders as sour grapes by the losers of the Nov. 8 general election.

The National League for Democracy says it is not concerned about the numerous complaints filed against its candidates by the Union Solidarity and Development Party.

Ruling party candidate who lost to U Than Htay in Zayarthiri says he has recordings of the ex-general engaging in racial, religious incitement during campaign speeches.

Election sub-commissions in the reviewed townships reject the claims as ‘absurd’.

The wording of the Democratic Party of National Politics’ statements alleging electoral fraud amount to threats against election officials, the UEC said.

The Union Election Commission says it has no legal obligation to provide documents related to voting.
