Cases to be opened over election campaign expenses
Legal cases will be opened against 175 candidates in the November 2015 general election for failing to submit their campaign expenses on time, according to the Union Election Commission.
“The election tribunal will start hearing those cases on 21 January in Nay Pyi Taw,” said U Soe Kyaw Oo, a UEC official.
He could not give a breakdown of which political parties were involved, or how many of the 175 politicians went on to be elected. However, he confirmed that candidates of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy were among those to face the special tribunals.
