1. Acting President Duwa Lashi La encourages increasing revolutionary stamina for the final battle
At the Cabinet Meeting (4/2023) of the National Unity Government held on January 24, Acting President Duwa Lashi La told the government to increase their revolutionary stamina for the final battle, as follows:
“We will make efforts to make the defensive war even more successful, and we must properly prepare everything necessary for the final battle. Our people must not lose. We must increase our revolutionary stamina for the final battle. A new federal democratic union can only be hoped for if we can lead from the defensive war to the final battle. We must all prepare to reach this goal.”
Moreover, the Acting President reiterated that the Myanmar military leaders had pushed the situation to the point where the people have to take up arms and defend themselves, so they must finish the drama that they had started.
The National Unity Government announced the start of the People’s Defensive War on September 7, 2021, and the Spring Revolution is being ramped up for a decisive battle.
2. The Inter-Parliamentary Council (IPU) decided not to recognize the military regime in Myanmar, in solidarity with the elected MPs
On January 23, the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) said that the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) decided not to recognize the military regime in Myanmar, in solidarity with the elected MPs, while quoting the statement in the Result of the 145th IPU Assembly, which was held in October 2022.
“As for Myanmar, the Governing Council noted with regret that no significant development had occurred since the last Assembly. The situation had worsened, as the execution of some parliamentarians had occurred. The junta had said that it would organize elections by August 2023. In this light, the Governing Council decided to maintain the stance adopted in Nusa Dua not to recognize the military regime in Myanmar, in solidarity with the elected MPs. The Governing Council also acknowledged that for the moment those MPs were not able to function as a fully-fledged parliament. It therefore maintained its decision that the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw continue to attend IPU Assemblies in an observer capacity.”

3. NUG’s Union Minister Dr. Zaw Wai Soe says that there is no reason for the illegal election of the terrorist military council to take place in any way
Dr. Zaw Wai Soe, Union Minister for Health, the National Unity Government, said at the “People to People” program that there is no reason for the illegal election of the terrorist military council to take place in any way, as follows:
“Theirs is not a legitimate organisation under the law; theirs is an organisation that cannot hold elections, and there is no need to hold an election. A fair and free election has already been held. There is no reason for this kind of illegal election to be carried out by those who destroy the election with violence, and there is no reason to accept it.”
The NUG Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration has declared that anyone involved in the sham election that the military council will hold, including those who collect voter lists door-to-door, will be prosecuted under the Counter-Terrorism Law.
