A tribunal set up by the Union Election Commission (UEC) said a complaint alleging that so called “white card” nationality identity holders were allowed to vote in Thandwe was incorrect. The tribunal made decision on 4 February after a hearing on the complaint. “We have acquitted the case as here was not sufficient evidence to prove the claim and also after an investigation we found the accusations were incorrect,” a member of UEC U Maung Maung Kyi said. A central executive committee member of Arakan National Party U Maung Phyu told The Voice that the commission should made public of its report on the hearing of the case. A protest march was organized in Thandwe shortly after the election to protest against alleged permission granted to white-card holders to vote. In 2015 election Arakan National Party won majority of seats in Rakhine State, however, the main opposition NLD won seats in Thandwe, Taungup and Gwa Townships. Reference The Voice 5 February 2016
