UEC to pass final ruling on Seikkan Constituency candidate complaint


THE Union Election Commission has accepted an appeal from the overturned candidate for Yangon Region’s Seikkan Township Constituency 2, U Nay Myo Aung as Appeal Case (1/2019).

In line with Section 101 of the State or Regional Hluttaw Election Bylaw, the UEC formed a tribunal with all members, including Chairman U Hla Thein and heard from both sides, while considering legal suggestions from the Union Attorney-General Office, yesterday.
The final ruling will be made on 4 July 2019.
The original complaint was made by rival candidate U Than Htike Aung against the initial winner, U Nay Myo Aung. The UEC accepted the complaint, formed a tribunal, heard from both sides and ruled that U Nay Myo Aung violated electoral laws.
UEC revoked U Nay Myo Aung’s victory and ruled to appoint for U Than Htike Aung as the Regional Hluttaw representative.
