RANGOON — A coalition of 23 ethnic political parties is targeting around 150 constituencies in the Union Parliament in the coming
general election, aiming to elect a bloc with enough leverage to help determine the shape of the next government.
Saw Than Myint, spokesman for the Nationalities Brotherhood Federation (NBF), told The Irrawaddy that the alliance of 23 parties was
aiming to capture a quarter of Naypyidaw’s 664 seats in the Nov. 8 poll.
