At present there are over 54 million people in Myanmar. Among them, Bamar nationals are the largest. If Pyithu Hluttaw delegates are to be elected based on population, the majority of the Pyithu Hluttaw delegates will be Bamars. If so, Bamars will constitute a larger majority of Pyithu Hluttaw delegates. That is why the basic principle is laid down not more than 330 delegates. |

There are opportunities for the townships as well as for ethnic minorities. For instance, Shan nationals already have a state in their Shan State. Likewise, national races such as Danu, PaO, Palaung, Kokang and Wa national races have had self-administered zones / division. Therefore, other national races which have not had the equal rights shall be permitted to have one seat each in state hluttaws if they have 0.1 percent and above of the State population as a whole. For example, suppose the population of Akha nationals in Shan State accounts for 0.1 percent and above, they will be able to win one seat in Shan State Hluttaw. |

Each and every national race will enjoy legislative powers if they have 0.1 percent and above of the country’s population whatever region / state, or self-administered area they live in. |

As the future nation will guarantee the flourishing of genuine multiparty democracy coupled with the noblest and worthiest of worldly values such as justice, liberty and equality, accusations and fabrications such as injustice and inequality will fade away with the emergence of the new State constitution. |
