By-election thought


Our by-election is already set to hold in April 1 and all participating political parties are busying with their campaigning across the regions in which there are vacant seats. Most visibly, popular NLD lead by famous lady ASSK is doing well in their campaign trip to almost every eligible regions. With the power of ASSK, wherever they go, people follow them. It doesn't matter how big barrier block the way, full house audience are granted. This manner never change by different state/division. So does ethnic minority. Without any single doubt, people will vote NLD this time and we believe NLD is going to win all 48 seats this time if by-election is transparent and fair. But the problem is who will know what's happening behind sense? Election commission is not as powerful and fair as we think because they are just look like ruling party's puppet. They would take action once they are being pulled or pressed by someone.

The current concern with upcoming by-election is that there are no exact population who are eligible to vote. Recently, NLD has found some suspicious moves made by ruling party. Most highlighting one is that there are some people names in the voting list who are already dead. Another opposition party also found out that people are unfairly allocated to different region to vote in order to avoid unwanted outcome. Also the existing government staffs are apparently put under pressure to vote military back party rather than what they really wanted. For those civil service staffs, their job is on the steak if they are going against the wills of their superior. Now election committee is censoring the speeches of all parties leader that are suppose to transmitted by state own television media to spread their message. It seem a little bit against democratic movement.

Wherever NLD goes, they got truck-load of flowers that are given by people on the way. It show how much people want to support NLD and how eager they are willing to change political landscape. NLD has several blockage on their campaign trip and have successfully overcome those barriers. With the sign of people's support and talent of ASSK, who else able to win over NLD in this April-1 by-election? If the election is free and fair, definitely we don't need to wait for the result of by-election. It's already known by heart.
