The National League for Democracy (NLD) has not made the Arakan National Party (ANP) an offer to form the Rakhine State government, according to Aye Tha Aung, an executive ANP member.
The ANP, the most successful of the ethnic parties in November's election, formed a liaison committee with chairman Dr Aye Maung, general secretary Tun Aung Kyaw and executive Aye Tha Aung on December 6 to have discussions with the NLD and other political parties.
“The NLD has not discussed it with us yet. We have wanted to start the process of forming the Rakhine State government since the November election. We won 22 seats; enough to form a regional government but the Constitution says the president gets to choose our chief minister. It is a difficult time while we wait to find out who that will be. We will hold discussions with the NLD about it,” Aye Tha Aung said. (Courtesy of Eleven Myanmar)
