In Rakhine State, the ANP won seven of 15
available seats. During the previous term, the state hluttaw was a significant source of criticism and

The addition of military-appointed representatives will affect the balance of power significantly in Kayah, Rakhine and Shan states. In the Shan State Hluttaw, for example, the Tatmadaw will have more seats than any single party. 11/11
