26 political parties support SAC’s offer to resolve political issues through political means

 

A total of 26 political parties, including the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), the National Unity Party, the New Democracy Party (Kachin) and the Democratic Party expressed their full support for the State Administration Council’s offer on 26 September to resolve political issues through political means, issuing a joint statement on 29 September.

The statement points out the urgent need for security, peace, and stability to carry out resettlement efforts in response to the recent floods that impact the nation, as well as the enumeration of the census scheduled to take place on 1 October to ensure the accuracy of voter lists for the upcoming multiparty democratic general election.

It also supports SAC’s five-point roadmap and the claim that the State lost a large number of human resources, infrastructure, lives, and property due to armed terrorism and armed struggle line instead of solving political problems through political means.

“In addition, we found that the SAC made the offer considering the losses and the effective implementation of the rehabilitation process for flood-affected people, the need to carry out the census process in a timely manner — which will be helpful for the multiparty democratic general election — the need to promote ethnic unity, and the need to contribute to lasting peace and development. Therefore, ethnic armed organizations should resolve political issues through party politics or electoral processes after abandoning the path of armed terrorist attacks,” the statement said.

The cluster of 26 political parties also expresses its belief that the SAC’s offer represents the actual needs of the people and is a process for collaboration, as it focuses on the interests of the State.
