If elections were held, it would be an exit for the people, and politicians would have to convince the people to vote in the elections, the National Democratic Force Party (NDF) Vice Chairman U Htet Aung Kyaw told CNI News. 

The SAC chairman said that elections will be held in Myanmar in December 2025 and January 2026, and that state power would be hand over to  the party that wins the elections.

The current situation is a crisis for everyone, and there is a question of what other way out is there, but what needs to be done must be done, National Democratic Force Party(NDF) Vice Chairman U Htet Aung Kyaw told CNI News.

"We politicians need to make sure that the public understands that voting in this election is their way out. We need to do what we have to do. At the current level, what other way out is there? The public is in a lot of trouble. The election is an important step towards returning to normalcy. This is a turning point. I am talking about holding an election because it can change the situation without causing any harm to the public. We need to tell the public how to vote. Public voting is the way out. We also have to say that their voting is their way out. I hope that the public's regular hearing of the election will wake them up to vote in the election," he said.

The 2008 Constitution does not stipulate a quorum for an election, depending on the voting percentage. So if an election was held, a quorum would be reached, said Sai Htay Aung, chairman of the Tai Leng (Shanni) Nationalities Development Party, to CNI News.

"The 2008 Constitution does not stipulate a quorum for an election depending on the voting percentage. so as soon as the election was finished, it would be quorum. We presented and discussed it. We are discussing how those who have fled the war and those who are abroad can also vote." he said.

The NUG, the PDFs, and the EAO have announced that they will completely disrupt the upcoming elections that will be held by the SAC. 

Then, the public is considering whether they should vote in the election or not. However, some people have decided not to vote at all, due to concerns that polling stations will be attacked.

In addition, some people have decided not to vote because they do not like the stance and history of the political parties that will run the election.
