NLD party spokesman Dr Myo Nyunt said that both the President and State Counsellor would take part in election campaigns for the party in person within the framework issued by the Union Election Commission (UEC) for the 2020 election campaigns.

He cited UEC notification 31/2015 issued on July 8, 2015.

“This notification explicitly says the persons holding the offices of President and State Counsellor have authority to do party organization work and election campaigning in both their own constituencies and other constituencies during the election campaign period,”

He added that the previous government also exercised this right in doing their election campaigns.
