Thein Sein to remain president if USDP wins

Thein Sein to remain president if USDP wins

If the Union Solidarity and Development Party wins the election, its chairman, President Thein Sein, would remain head of state, said retired Lieutenant-General Khin Zaw Oo, a USDP candidate for Tanintharyi Township, during an election speech.

"The person who will become president is our party chairman. Point out another party which can say who the president will be. I dare say our party chairman will become president if we win the election," said Khin Zaw Oo. 
 
He also said being on friendly terms with the military was a prerequisite for becoming president. 
 
The Pawa village monastery hosted the event with some voters saying they were enticed to attend by the offer of a free meal and cash for fuel.
