Prior agreements have been reached before the election, chairman of the People's Party (PP) U Ko Ko Gyi told CNI News.

The meeting of the National Solidarity and Peacemaking Negotiation Committee (NSPNC) and political parties that have been registered was held in Naypyidaw from 5th to 6th December.

Agreements had been reached to conduct the reformations leading to federal and democracy; the coming election was different from previous elections because prior negotiations were conducted, said U Ko Ko Gyi.

" This is not the first time we discuss. Some agreements have been reached in the previous discussions. There are points to be discussed in details and those to be discussed again. We can't say it in detail at the moment. But we have agreed to conduct the reformations leading to federal and democracy as well as check and balance. But official amendment of the constitution can be conducted only when the Hluttaw appears. Previous elections were conducted without any prior discussions. So, There were confrontations regarding amendment of the constitution in the Hluttaw. But the coming election will be different from previous elections because we have reached some agreements after prior negotiations so that we can make significant reformations with a few disagreements." he said.

A general election would be held in 2025 and the State power would be handed over to the winning party in the election, said Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing.
