 There were accusations by some political parties that it was the political bias when UEC canceled some constituencies where there was less possibility for NLD to win. Five ethnic political parties including Kachin State People’s party, Kayah State Democracy Party, Karen National Democracy Party, Chin National League for Democracy and Mon Unity Party, issued a joint statement to reconsider the postponement of elections in some townships. For holding an election in Mengkaing Township which was stable and peaceful, four political parties submitted the request with a petition signed by more than 10,000 persons. Similarly, it was the request to hold the elections for the postponement of the elections in the constituencies such as Muse, Lashio and Kyaukme districts. The Ministry of Defence also responded that there were some townships where elections could be held. On 27th October 2020, it was announced that three village-tracts in Kyaukphyu Township, four village-tracts in Ann Township, one ward in Muse Township, one ward in Lashio Township, one ward in Kunlong Township were removed from the list of postponement of elections. However, it was issued that election had been cancelled in 94 ward/village-tracts in Paletwa Township in Chin State which already had the schedule to hold the election before. The former UEC postponed the election in some areas favour for NLD party. Seikkam Township was demolished because NLD party used to lose the seat there in pervious election. The Arakan Army (AA) issued a statement and asked to hold the election before December 2020 in 9 Townships of Rakhine State where the election was postponed. The AA also declared a unilateral ceasefire in Rakhine State. It was found that the postponement of the elections showed there was no transparency in 2020 General Elections. Elections in some areas were postponed due to the security reason but actually the reason was NLD party had less possibility to win the election. [1] [2]
