“I received a telephone call from two Chin political leaders, who are in Naypyitaw this morning. They are trying to have the party registered to put up candidates in the election. But I don’t know their names,” Mr. Nahthang, a member of the party in Falam town told Khonumthung News.
Regarding contesting the elections, Chin political leaders in Yangon city and representatives of Chin people in all townships of Chin state have had a discussion. They decided to field candidates in the election from one political party, he added.
