Description:
"1. On 8th November 2020, the multi-party democratic general election was
held in accordance with the Election Laws and Rules by the Union Election
Commission in a free and fair manner and was actively voted by the citizens
with a strong desire for democracy even during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis.
2. In the election, 1117 seats out of 1171 constituencies were successfully
voted for Pyithu Hluttaw, Amyotha Hluttaw and Regional/State Hluttaws and
there were a total of 5639 candidates from all the political parties and
independent members. More than 71 percent of the eligible voters took part
in the election and it was recognized as a free and fair election by the teams
of local and international observers.
3. On 1st February 2021, against the result of the votes from the citizens,
the brutal State Administrative Council (SAC) accused that voting fraud was
found in the election and seized the state power from the civilian government
neglecting the Election Law and Rules and the 2008 Constitution. The
announcement of the invalidation of the 2020 general election's results by
the SAC was only to destroy the desire and hopes of the citizens using the arm
power. Therefore, in order to retain the citizens' rights, including the Civil
Disobedience Movement (CDM), people took part in different ways of protest
against the military coup.
4. The peaceful protestors against the dictatorship were handled by the
SAC with violence including illegal arrests, unjust detentions, murders,
appropriation and destroying the properties of the people which have created
the emergence of revolution.
5. The Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw has been formed with
the mandate from the people to conduct the functions of Pyidaungsu Hluttaw
and we have performed the legislation, relations with international
parliamentary bodies and revoking the 2008 Constitution. We have also
formed the Interim National Unity Government (NUG) after the
announcement of the Federal Democracy Charter drafted by the National
Unity Consultative Council (NUCC).
6. We appreciate and recognize all the contribution and efforts in the battle
for democracy in Myanmar by our new generations, public officials and
people in the Civil Disobedience Movement, Ethnic Armed Organizations,
political parties, protest groups, civil societies, organizations for public
security and those international governments, parliaments, organizations
who stand with us at this challenging period.
7. On the anniversary of the 2020 election, we, the Committee
Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) would like to announce that we will
continue working together with all stakeholders to eliminate military
dictatorship and establish a federal democratic state in the future and will
continue working steadfastly to ensure the State power is returned to its
original owner, the citizens..."
