NDPD candidate arrested in Maungdaw, Arakan State (ရခုိင္ျပည္နယ္ ေမာင္းေတာတြင္ NDPD ေရြးေကာက္ပြဲ ကုိယ္စားလွယ္ေလာင္းမ်ား ဖမ္းဆီးခံရ)

An organizer for the National Democratic Party for Development (NDPD) said election officials and candidates of the junta-backed USDP forcibly removed opposition officials from polling stations where they were to serve as monitors.

Authorities also reportedly arrested NDPD candidate Khin Maung Myint, also known as Enayet Ullah, on interfering in a polling booth to object to USDP’s rigging.

“He is still in custody in Maungdaw police station,” said an NDPD organizer.

Other sporadic reports emerged of NDPD supporters from Maungdaw and Buthidaung townships being detained on Election Day.

A politician from Maungdaw said USDP candidates and local authorities have not employed similar tactics against the Rakhine community, which has largely shown support for the National Unity Party (NUP).
