Who Will Win? By Election in Myanmar
As time pass fast approaching to 1st of April, the momentum of political campaigning for By-election in Myanmar has been remarkably increased during the past few weeks and especially, political campaign by National League for Democracy (NLD) has been apparently attractive to larger crowd in the area wherever their leader, Daw Aung San Su Kyi, gave speech to the public. On the other hand, Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) have been discretely pursuing their political campaigns by using their larger socio-political networks and influences, particularly outreaching to larger rural areas with their financial might to relay the powerful message of who is really capable to change the life of citizens on day-to-day basic. Recent poll data collected by Myanmar Affairs reveal that NLD is likely to win but the result seem to be changed in some constituents, particularly in remote areas if NLD’s one lady show campaign could not keep its tempo up in remaining a few day which is quite critical time slot for catching up the nature of straw-fire mood of majority voters when time arrives to make decision.
