Htin Kyaw to take oath on March 30

President-elect Htin Kyaw will take the oath of office and deliver a state of the union address at Parliament on March 30, according to Win Htein, a central executive member of the National League for Democracy.

Two vice-presidents and new ministers will take the oath on the same day. The power transfer will run as previously planned, he added.

Only six MPs from the NLD, including Aung San Suu Kyi, are included in the list of 18 ministers proposed by Htin Kyaw.

“On March 30, Htin Kyaw is sworn in as president with the ministers. Afterwards, Htin Kyaw will deliver an address at the Parliament. Htin Kyaw and ministers will proceed to the presidential house. President Thein Sein and outgoing ministers will wait for them there. There will be a handover of insignia at the diplomatic hall. The outgoing president and ministers will introduce staff to the new comers. President Thein Sein will leave the house.” (Courtesy of Eleven Myanmar)
