The Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) and the group of elected Hluttaw representatives said in a letter sent on 8th April 2024 to the National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC) that it could not attend the second People's Conference (5th day) led by the NUCC.

The People's Conference led by the NUCC was held from 4th to 6th April and the conference was extended for another two days. However, the conference was one day off on  8th April and confirmed to hold on 9th April as the last day.

Because the NUCC tried to confirm the five points that the CRPH did not agree, the CRPH would not attend the conference to be held on 9th April, said in the the letter. 

The NUCC tried to confirm the points beyond the provisions included in the part (2) of the federal democratic charter; it tried to confirm the point beyond the agendas that were distributed in advance; the NUCC tried to reform and confirm the particulars the chairman decided to record at an agenda of the conference; Additional proposals that were not included in the original program at the conference that are needed to take time and discuss among the groups concerned and some representatives of the conference failed to comply with the rules and regulations laid down by the conference, said in the letter.

If the particulars in the letter were analyzed, cooperation among the opposition elements would be found to be weak, and it seemed that they were giving priority to the public support without thoroughly discussing the political process, pointed out political analysts.

The CRPH is a committee which is made up of the Hluttaw representatives who won in the 2020 general election and most of them were from the NLD and are included in the National Unity Government as well.
