As the final verdicts for remaining charges against Daw Aung San Suu Kyi will be passed by 30 December, there have emereged differing views in the political circle on what the political landscape will look like after the prosecution against her.
The new political landscape will be shaped by views of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi over the National Unity Government and the People's Defence Force, Political Observer U Ye Tun told the CNI.
U Ye Tun told the CNI, "I am aware that Snr Gen Min Aung Hlaing recently said that the future of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi depended on hier views. I think that he was referring to the views of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi over the resistance movement launched by the NUG and the PDF after February, 2021. Her views on whether she supports their movement or not can have great impacts on the resistance forces. I think changes and consequences depend on her views."

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has been charged for 19 counts and has been sentenced to 26-year's prison term for 14 charges.
Verdicts for the remaining charges will be reportedly passed by 30 December.
Authorities have their own ulterior motives behind passing verdicts on her remaining cases as soon as possible, Political Observer Advocate U Kyee Myint told the CNI.
He said, "They have their own ulterior motives. The faster they sentence her, the sooner they can release her. Another motive is that they are going to hold the elections. They have done everything to ban her from taking part in the elections. She has been sentenced to prison terms. They don't want her to run for the elections."
After final verdicts on Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, she should be granted amnesty, Politbureau Member U Tun Aung Kyaw of the Arakan National Party told the CNI.

He said, "Precedents have been set by granting amnesty to olderly party members like Dr Myo Nyunt. Snr Gen Min Aung Hlaing has the power to release her out of goodwill for national interest and reconciliation and respect for the will of the people.
The Myanmar military ousted the National League for Democracy government after accusing it of attempting to form a new government without settling voters' list disputes in the 2020 general election and has detained some NLD leaders including Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and U Win Myint.
Since then, lawmakers from the NLD and democracy activists have formed People's Defence Forces and launched resistance to topple the military under the slogan of 'There is no bargaining with bloodstained military junta'.
