"1. We, the Representatives of the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw, have been elected as representatives of the people in the General Elections held on 8 November 2020. 2. The parliamentary session was due to be held on 1 February 2021, but on that day the military staged a coup without any justifiable or legitimate reason, and the people became aware that the parliamentary session could not be conducted as planned. 3. Nevertheless, the elected Representatives who were sworn in on 4 February 2021 at Sipln Hostel (2) are duly mandated to legislate and to select and appoint the Presidents as the selection committee for the Presidents, and appoint the new cabinet members in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar. 4. We, the elected Representatives of the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw, will not recognise any institutions, ministries, and the cabinet appointed by the military who seized power through an illegitimate coup, and we declare that the military's cabinet is illegitimate. 5. We officially announce to the international community, including the United Nations, that only the government led by President U Win Myint is the official Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar. 6. The illegitimate coup carried out by the military Commander-In-Chief is unconstitutional and it does not revoke our legitimate authority entrusted upon us by the people. 7. The military coup, therefore, has not taken away our authority, and cannot officially deter us from performing the responsibilities entrusted upon us by the people. 8. The Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw has been formed by the following Representatives to resolutely perform those necessary activities and duties that have been entrusted upon us by the people, to ensure the unconditional release of those detained including the President of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar and the State Counsellor, and to conduct the regular functions of the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw..."
