National League for Democracy
Statement No. 10/10/10

26 October 2010

National League for Democracy (NLD) on 29 March 2010 decided unanimously not to re-register due to junta’s unfair election laws. No one against the decision. Addition, NLD is already registered as the political party in accord with “Political Registration Law 4/88”. But sadly, some NLD members founded the party NDF saying that NLD no longer exists. In reality, their actions are against the will of the majority which is also against the democratic principles. Addition to that they also take the NLD’s symbol Ka-Mauk which NLD used as the symbol in 1990 election. But, NDF chooses to use Ka-Mauk as the symbol and emblem of their party.

For the public, “NLD and Ka-Mauk”, “Ka-Mauk and NLD” are two inseparable signs which they attached in their minds. Public is confusing that because NDF chooses to use Ka-Mauk as the symbol since they thought that NDF’s Ka-Mauk is NLD. Even, some NDF members are saying that they are the clone of the NLD. Addition, some NDF members are saying that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is their leader.

Therefore, we, NLD, would like to clarify that NDF is neither NLD’s life boat party nor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is NDF’s leader nor Ka-Mauk they are using.

In accord with the decision made on 25.10.2010 CEC meeting
