Federal transitional plan constitution that the nine organizations have started drafting needs to encompass powerful organizations, pointed out military and political analysts.
The nine organizations that contain EAOs and federal councils representing state and nationality released on 12th February 2025 that they have started drafting the federal transitional plan constitution that seems like the constitution for transitional period.
The constitution that is being drafted currently does not contain powerful northern organizations such as Wa (UWSA) and Myla (NDAA), secretary of the Women's League of Burma (WLB) Daw Nan Moh Moh told CNI News.
" Other organizations are also collaborating with the nine organizations. Northern elements including Wa are not included in the drafting of the constitution. We'll have to negotiate with the organizations that have not taken part in drafting the interim plan.”She Said.
The nine organizations that released the joint statement are the Karenni National Progressive Party (KNPP), the Karen National Union (KNU), the Chin National Front (CNF), New Mon State Party/Anti-Dictatorship (NMSP/AD),the Karenni State Consultative Council (KSCC), the Pa-O National Federal Council (PNFC), the Mon State Federal Council (MSFC), the Ta'ang Political Consultative Committee (TPCC) and the Women's League of Burma (WLB).
Discussions and negotiations are being promoted to declare the common position of the groups fighting together to end the military dictatorship and build a federal democratic union as well as to encourage more groups to support and participate, said in the statement.

Efforts must be made to make the groups currently drafting the interim constitution stronger and they were leading to change the administrative systems of the country, chairman of the PNFC U Khun Myint Tun told CNI News.
" It's necessary to include all the remaining organizations so that this effort will be stronger. Although there were various organizations, changes of governments and coups d'état in our country, basically the backbone of the military dictatorship is always there. We are truly moving towards a system change, a real system change”he Said.
The Arakan Army (AA) wants to achieve the Confederation as a "minimum" level. Secretary of the TNLA Maj-Gen Tar Bone Kyaw told Palaung People to get ready for the establishment of a new country of their own.
A leader of the KIA Lt-Gen Gun Maw said that the EAO leaders might demand levels beyond federalism in 2025. Wa and Myla groups have separate administrative systems and they are separately standing, which is outside the federalism and democracy all the remaining organizations are making attempts to achieve.
