According to the BBC, Aung San Suu Kyi’s party, the NLD, won 347 seats in the last election. Which is more than the 322 seats needed to form a government.
The party has vowed to form a government of national unity on Friday after winning a landslide victory. NLD spokeswoman Maniwa Aung Shin said the victory showed that people still have confidence in Suu Kyi’s leadership.
“We have to work to form a government of national unity,” he said. The NLD has invited 39 minority groups to work with them in the process, Aung Shin said.
Previously, after winning the 2015 elections, the party made no such offer to minority parties. Ethnic minority political parties compete for seats in the national parliament and in the state assembly.
Myanmar held its second general election on Sunday. Preliminary election results confirmed the majority after the NLD was previously victorious.
However, the vote count continues. Therefore, the final official election result has not yet been announced. Results for 74 of the 418 seats have yet to be declared.
India, Japan and Singapore have already congratulated the NLD on its victory. But the Myanmar military-backed opposition has already called for re-election, citing vote rigging.
The Union, Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) said at a press conference on Wednesday that it did not care about the outcome of the elections. The party called on the authorities to hold free, fair and fair elections.
Myanmar’s national and international election observers say the voting went smoothly and there were no major irregularities. Meanwhile, the NLD has demanded proof of any voting irregularities.
The army-backed opposition has so far not produced any evidence to back up its allegations. Myanmar’s electoral commission says the elections were free and fair. As a result of the elections, the USDP won 24 seats.
Of Myanmar’s 440 seats in the House of Representatives of the bicameral parliament and the 224 seats in the upper house, 25 percent are reserved for the military. The rest of the seats were voted on last Sunday.
The election is being seen as a referendum on the question of a new democratic government headed by leader Aung San Suu Kyi NLD.
Although Suu Kyi’s party is very popular in Myanmar, allegations of genocide against the Rohingya Muslim minority have tarnished its image in the international arena.
The image of Suu Kyi, who won a landslide victory in the 2015 elections, has been tarnished in the international arena due to her “silent support” for the Rohingya “genocide”.
