Esteemed voters and members of the public Greetings to you all

I am U Aung Thant Tint, Chairperson of the executive committee of Bamar People’s Party. I wish for the mental and physical wellbeing of all citizens.

The coming 2020 elections will decide how strong the democratic transition for Myanmar will become. That is why the next Hluttaw needs to have representatives with the highest spirit, skills and experience.

The Hluttaw will be at the forefront of reforms in Myanmar in the future, and it is imperative to have the most capable representatives to strengthen the Hluttaw. This will ensure that the legislative pillar, one of the three pillars of government, will have the best opportunities with new people, ideas, opinions, strength and systems.

Our party thinks it’s not enough to have time for change or time for thinking but time to act on changes. We need modifications to our nation’s politics, economy and society.

– We need changes to eliminate poverty.

– We need changes to the rule of law.

– We need changes in social security.

– We need modifications to lower commodity prices.

– We need changes to end armed conflicts.

Bamar people have been living with their own kingdoms, nation and lofty people for many years. We formed the Bamar People’s Party (BPP) to emulate the positive aspects of this history. We have vowed to make BPP last and prevent negative images of the Bamar people in the future.

BPP promises to strive to prevent the Bamar people from fading away from history. We will make BPP lasting, avoid the national identity of Bamar people from vanishing, create opportunities to chart our own destinies, and ensure sovereignty is in the hands of all citizens.

The BPPs national policy is to pursue the middle path, implement a democratic system, aim for freedom, equality and equity, and stand for the capable voting citizens.

BPP Policy

(a) Eliminate poverty.

(b) Ensure sovereignty is in the hands of the citizens.

(c) Be united with all ethnic groups with transparency and free of all doubts.

(d) Establish a federal union based on democracy.

Esteemed voters and members of the public

The Union of Myanmar is home to diverse ethnic groups. They have different geographical locations, cultures and traditions, livelihoods and religions. That is why it is essential to have equal socioeconomic development among all ethnic groups. Socioeconomic development plays a crucial role, whether in implementing multiparty democracy system or establishing a federal union.

Therefore, why we need to promote healthcare, education, literature and culture, jobs and livelihoods, social security, protection of the elderly and people living with disabilities, youth capabilities, and protecting the rights of women and children to establish a modern and developed, prosperous society. The BPP, representing Bamar people, was formed to establish such a society by practising a political system based on the people.

BPP’s flag

The red background of the flag represents the courage and bravery of Bamar people. The peacock represents the national symbol of the Bamar people. The nine stars represent the 9 Bamar ethnic groups, and the blue undertone of the peacock symbolizes maturity and tranquillity. The yellow out-line of the peacock represents the brightness of Buddhism, revered by the Bamar people.

BPP’s logo

The party’s logo is the gaung baung, a component of the traditional Myanmar attire. It represents the cultural identity of the Bamar people. The red backdrop represents Bamar people’s courage, and bravery and yellow symbolize the glow of Buddhism. BPP is the abbreviation of the party in English.

BPP’s objectives

1. We will continuously strive as our national duty for ethnic solidarity, strengthening sover-eignty, and establishing a federal union.

2. To ensure all citizens can coexist with unity and peace for democracy affairs, national recon-ciliation, national stability, human rights, and equality.

3. To prioritize national interest over the interest of our party.

4. To ensure mutual trust, close relations, cooperation and peaceful coexistence among all Bam-ar ethnic groups and other ethnic groups in the nation.

5. To cooperate on the improvement of Bamar People’s Party.

– Bamar party aims for public benefit.

– Thakin lineage, our Bamar, united in cooperation.

– Bamar symbol starts from the gaung baung, support in unity.
