By Burma News International • January 19, 2011

BNI (The Burma News International) was established in 2003 is composed of ten member Burma media organizations such as Mizzima News, Narinjara News ect. BNI has produced a pre-election report as members’ effort to provide an analysis on pre-election events.

The report covers a general overview of the election, the UEC, how many political parties are eligible to run, population statistics and eligible voters, political parties contesting in each state and reagions, influential candidates, problems faced by some parties.

The report closes up with a conclusion that as the ethnic participation was largely excluded in the election, political crisis is likely to remain unchanged, and because most of the contesting parties are small, regional parties, military appointees would have advantage over the new parliament.
