Upon completion of the State of Emergency, preparations must be made for holding the elections: Vice-Senior General

Vice-Chairman of the State Administration Council Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Commander-in-Chief (Army) Vice-Senior General Soe Win met district and township level personnel of Kayah State and town elders at the state hall in Loikaw yesterday morning.
In his address, the Vice-Senior General said that the Tatmadaw severally requested the Union Election Commission, the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw and the National Defence and Security Council to address more than 10.4 million voting frauds in the 2020 general election but received no response. On 1 February, winning NLD started to form governments with attempts to seize the State power in illegal ways. Hence, the Tatmadaw took the State responsibilities without fail under Sections 417, 418 and 419 of the Constitution (2008) for ensuring honest and transparent Hluttaw and solving the dishonesty. Due to the instigation of those wishing to utilize the politics for their self-interest and some big countries, the majority of local and external people misunderstood that the Tatmadaw conducted the coup d’état.
Some persons still misunderstand the taking of State responsibility by the Tatmadaw. The general election is of importance in democracy and it must be free and fair. The election without honesty will not elect the honest and righteous representative. So, those representatives will not correctly select the Head of State.
Hence, the Tatmadaw took the State powers under Sections 417, 418 and 419 of the Constitution so as to maintain strengthening of the genuine democracy. The State Administration Council was formed with military and civilian members including ethnic nationals in a fair manner.
Upon completion of the State of Emergency, preparations must be made for holding the elections, and it is necessary to ensure regional peace. The people must have the right to cast votes of their own accord without fear. Those committing the terror acts with belief in the misunderstanding of coup d’état and maintaining the State responsibilities and instigators need to notice that if terror acts happen, elections will not be held; and if so, winning representatives, head of state and governments will not come out.
As Kayah State is full of good domestic products, manufacturing of these goods on a commercial scale to be exported can increase per-capita income as well as the GDP of Kayah State. All people from the state need to strive for gaining better development through unity.
