BURMA
Burma to Pick New VP on Wednesday

Burma’s Parliament is set to choose a new vice president in Naypyidaw on Wednesday, with Gen Nyan Htun, the commander-in-chief of Burma’s navy, seen as the top pick of the legislature’s military appointees.
According to tomorrow’s parliamentary schedule, the military appointees, who hold 25 percent of the seats in Parliament, will submit a list of vice-presidential candidates. The one who is chosen in a vote will swear an oath later in the day.
Journalists and military sources in Naypyidaw say that Nyan Htun is the strongest candidate for the post and that it is highly likely he will be picked as the new vice-president.
Nyan Htun is believed to be loyal to Vice Snr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing, the commander-in-chief of Burma’s armed force.
On July 10, former general Myint Swe, the chief minister of Rangoon Division, was nominated to succeed outgoing Vice-President Tin Aung Myint Oo, who resigned from his position after being diagnosed with cancer in May.
However, Myint Swe was later disqualified after it was learned that one of his children lives in Australia and has become an Australian citizen. Under Burma’s 2008 Constitution, any Burmese national whose relatives are foreign citizens or hold foreign citizenship is not qualified to serve as president or vice-president.
Some observers have suggested that the dispute over Myint Swe’s candidacy also points to a power struggle between reformists and hardliners. Thein Sein is generally seen as a reformist, while Min Aung Hlaing is regarded as a hardliner. Myint Swe is said to be close to Thein Sein.
Other names have also been mentioned as possible candidates for the vice-presidency, including Soe Win, the vice-commander-in-chief of the armed forces; retired Lt-Gen Tin Aye, who is the chairman of the Union Election Commission; and Htay Oo, the secretary general of the ruling military-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party.
Why not just make Aung San Suu Kyi Prime Minister? She is the one, the voice of reason,
respected by the world.
Myanmar’s Capitol or Myanmar’s War Office? These people with Green Uniforms do not belong there. It will keep making Thein Sein Government fake Democratic government.
How pity U Myint Swe!
Please ask your son to abandon Australian citizenship in exchange of Burmese one. Australian citizenship is not that worthy as even Rohingya boat people are being offered easily!!! Why your son is competing Rohingya in stead of “son of a Burmese Vice President”?
I feel sad that these soldiers do not look happy. I do not blame them because they feel ashamed when they sit along with real representatives in the house. Crows among the Peacocks.
Nyan Htun’s a HARDLINER as well no less folks!
And the guy’s as CORRUPT as ANY in Naypyidaw as well.
Guys in GREEN are getting DIRTIER by the DAY I see.
Look at the guys they chose for that matter!
Can’t they find any guy CLEANER (in character) than Nyan Htun for the post.
NO WONDER THEY SHOT DOWN THE MOTION for ASSETS DECLARATION gimmick.
Adding ANOTHER DIRTY LINEN in the LAUNDRY wouldn’t MAKE THINGS CLEANER in Naypyidaw lest Thein Sein forgets!
In many countries, electing a President or Vice President takes thorough screening. Through many debates, candidates reveal their quality. The best candidate becomes President. That’s why the country is well taken care of. In Myanmar, Thein Sein and his Vice Presidents are made leaders with Pauk-ga-yah way. Therefore, Myanmar is still facing many many messes. We need real elected leaders. Not just President(s) but also all of Hlutdaw members.
Since , the Burmese government has filled the long vacant post for Vice President. Now is the time to appoint Daw Aung San Su Kyi as Myanmar Prime Minister. She could not be possible candidate for President or Vice President according to the law drafted by quasi civilian government.
The country is heading for democracy and at the same time, there are various investor were coming in to Myanmar. Aunt Su is the only person who can handle all of this needed. Since, the President is busy with lots of issue and the tow President does not have business and international related experience, Aunt Su is the most suitable person for this post.
If, we all want to have peace and prosperity for Myanmar, she is the best person to hold the Prime Minister post. At the same time, some HARD LINER will be replace with opposition MP.
