The National League for Democracy has criticised the government’s plans for a referendum in May followed by general elections in 2010 when the results of the 1990 elections have still not been recognised.
In a statement issued on Monday, the NLD recalled the promises made by the State Law and Order Restoration Council, the SPDC’s former name, when it took power in 1988, namely to hold multiparty elections and return power to the winning party, and noted that the SPDC had yet to fulfil these promises.
