NLD Issues Apparent Online Rebuke Over Spokesman's Loose Lips

The National League for Democracy issued an official statement on Friday claiming that party leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is the sole official spokesperson on matters of party policy and the political transition to the next government.

Issued at 4pm on Friday, the brief notice, posted on the NLD’s official Facebook page appeared to offer a rebuke to those who had been making announcements on the party’s behalf, without explicit reference to any individual.

“This is the time that NLD is taking carefully in transition period,” it read. “So the NLD would like to announce that there is no person can speak about NLD policy and transitional affairs except the chairperson of the NLD, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.'

The edict comes two days after NLD spokesman and central executive committee member U Nyan Win told AFP the party had finalised its choice of speakers to preside over the next Union Parliament in Nay Pyi Taw, when new lawmakers take their seats on February 1. (Courtesy of Frontier Myanmar)
