It will be a shame, if the ANP unity could not be maintained just because of procedure failure to iron out a common stance on NLD’s heavy handedness regarding the State Chief Minister’s post and also not letting it to form the government.

In developed democratic countries, the NLD might have formed a coalition state government, with State Chief Minister position going to ANP and perhaps the financial or interior portfolios going to the NLD. And this will be only fair to the ANP, given that Aung San Suu Kyi’s commitment to national reconciliation government formation in states and as well union-level Administrations.

Hopefully, the NLD will take the ANP’s desire and aspiration into account for the sake of ethnic reconciliation.
