A general election surely would be held in 2025, chairman of the People's Party U Ko Ko Gyi told CNI News.
The Union Election Commission (UEC) and 53 political parties that have been registered met in the UEC office on 7th December and discussed the matters regarding the election.
The election surely would be held; the election was important to the State and social lives of the people, chairman of the PP U Ko Ko Gyi told CNI News.
" In the past, the winner-take-all system was used. Now there are discussions and negotiations to change from the first-past-the-post voting (FPTP) to the Proportional representation voting (PR). The hybrid system probably will be used. The FPDP will be used in some places and the PR, in other places. But we can know exactly about it only when the detailed laws and bylaws come out. But we can firmly say that the election will be held in 2025. After the election, within the five year tenure, it's very important to carry out the matters regarding the rotational chairman of the ASEAN and the representative of Myanmar at the UN for the dignity of the State. On the other hand, the government that will come to power from the election will continue to carry out the matters relating to insecurity of the people, livelihood, commodity price, education, healthcare and job opportunity." he said.
The study groups from abroad would be invited to the election that would be held in 2025, said U Ko Ko, the chairman of the UEC.
The UEC would make an effort to make a fair election and a respectable Hluttaw emerge and political parties should train their candidates to become qualified members of the Hluttaw, said U Ko Ko, chairman of the UEC.
