The Union Election Commission (UEC) held a meeting yesterday at the UEC office conference hall with registered political parties. At the event, UEC Chairman U Than Soe explained that among the political parties that applied in accordance with the registration law and regulations, 61 parties had been granted registration. Of these, nine parties are nationwide, and 52 parties operate only within a specific region or state. All parties that applied in accordance with the law have been thoroughly verified and approved.
The chairman reminded political parties that when submitting candidate lists for the legislature, they must comply with the legally stipulated number of constituencies and qualifications. Candidates must have completed at least a high school education, and for upcoming elections, candidates should hold degrees from recognised universities or colleges. Political parties are encouraged to select and submit candidates who will serve the public interest and contribute to the nation.
The event was attended by UEC officials and representatives, including chairpersons and leaders, from all 61 registered political parties.
