RANGOON — The National League for Democracy (NLD) and the Shan National League for Democracy (SNLD) say they will not accept properties if the government agrees to offer up real estate to Burma’s political parties, as was recently proposed by the Union Election Commission.

Burma’s Union Election Commission submitted proposals last week requesting that President Thein Sein provide land for offices and car import permits to the country’s 65 registered political parties.
