“Ahead of 2020 Elections, Moves to Amend the Myanmar Constitution” by Ye Htut

 

2019/15, 7 February 2019

On 29 January 2019, Myanmar’s ruling party, the National League for Democracy (NLD) moved for the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (Union Parliament, combining upper and lower houses) to pass an emergency resolution on forming a Joint Committee for Constitutional Amendment. The military-appointed members of parliament objected to this move, pointing to the stipulation in the 2008 Constitution that constitutional amendments must be in the form of a bill submitted by 20 per cent of members of parliament, and not by a parliamentary committee. The emergency resolution was passed with the NLD’s majority vote in parliament.

Actually, General Prayut will surprise no one if he finally accepts the invitation of Phalang Pracharat to be its leading candidate for prime minister in the upcoming general elections. Each party can name up to three candidates for the premiership, with lists to be made public during the registration of election candidates during 4-8 February.
