UEC to pass final ruling on Seikkan Constituency Candidate complaint

Union Election Commission/ Office (22), Nay Pyi Taw / July 05, 2019

The tribunal of the Union Election Commission ruled out the appeal from U Nay Myo Aung, the overturned candidate for Yangon Region’s Seikkan Township constituency-2, yesterday after hearing his appeal against a previous conviction which revoked his victory and ruled to appoint his rival candidate U Than Htike Aung as the Regional Hluttaw representative.

The tribunal of UEC comprised of all members and chaired by UEC Chairman U Hla Thein heard the case on 27 June, 2019.

The UEC-chairman led Tribunal yesterday made the same decision of the previous tribunal-1 of UEC that election of U Nay Myo Aung as the Yangon Region Hluttaw Representative in the Seikkan Township Constituency-2 was no longer valid because he violated the electoral laws, and the tribunal ruled that U Than Htike Aung was the legitimate winner of the election.
