NLD says forming a government not easy

The National League for Democracy held a leadership meeting yesterday to discuss appointments to the government, with a spokesperson admitting the process was facing “difficulties” and that an anxious public should not expect early answers.

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi chaired the three-hour meeting of 15 members of the party’s central executive committee at her home in Nay Pyi Taw’s Ottarathiri township.

The NLD has come under fire for its brusque treatment of the media with criticism that it is failing to live up to its own declared standards of transparency. Yesterday the party did not hold a formal press conference and the NLD leader did not speak to the media. However, a spokesperson did answer some questions from waiting reporters.

“We discussed forming the government. But no decision was made. That’s why I can’t disclose details about our meeting,” U Nyan Win said. (Courtesy of Myanmar Times)
