New Reps: Elect MPS To Take Seats On February 1

Meanwhile, Parliament Speaker Thura U Shwe Man said Wednesday newly elect members of the parliament will take their seats in parliament on February 1. The National League for Democracy-dominated MPs will replace the incumbent Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) after winning majority of the seats in the November general elections. First thing on the new MPs to-do-list is choosing the new president. However, the new government won’t take office until President U Thein Sein steps down on March 31, as per constitution.
