As for the KSPP, it will not have much time for campaigning simply because of the late approval. What have you arranged to implement during the short campaign period?

A: Of course, we will only have a little time to campaign. It is beyond our control. We can't do anything about it. We will try our best to implement our campaign activities within the given time.

If you do, try it at the national level. We need to form a strong and viable party to beat the USDP. Running a party at state or divisional level is not good enough to beat the USDP because the USDP is now using state funds and resources. Therefore, even though we do not have big funds like the USDP, we need to come together and build an alliance.
Let the USDP lose at least in the ethnic controlled territories.

We have nothing to do with KIO. KIO is being asked to become BGF. EC's delay on KSPP party registration is related to KIO's BGF transformation. Sincerely I do not get it clearly.

For me, EC will approve KSPP if it has more influence in Kachin people than KIO. It is a question for Junta who controls Kachin people? KSPP or KIO?

Leopards can't change their spots overnight man!

And Than Shwe is no idiot to know that.
Kachin parties' fate lies in the hands of Than Shwe and in turn on condition KIO goes under Than Shwe's heel of course trust me.
This guy and others of his ilk are making their mother of mistakes and they will learn the hard way no doubt.

If they think they can get things done in Than Shwe's Hluttaw (Parliament) then they should get their heads checked first.
And they need divine help in this matter as well I say.

Falling prey to a snake like Than Shwe would be akin to Eve following Satan's advice and making Adam eat the apple in the Garden of Eden that started mankind's woes as Tuja learned since his younger days.

And Tuja stands to learn some more in coming weeks and days that dancing to Than Shwe's tune would serve him no better than following Satan's advice and ways; hence even Jesus would not take him to Heaven on Judgment Day at the end of the day.
And some guys like to learn the hard way.

If the Kachins are insulted like this, every Kachin must cast his/her vote for any party other than USDP and its puppet parties. If KSPP is not allowed to compete, cast your votes for NDF.

KSPP Dr. Manan Tuja's words are very inspirational. He could be one of the potential figures to work for the entire Kachin fellows.

If Irraawaddy could create "Online Popular Votes Corner", I shall definitely support KSPP.

Dr Tuja badly needs a plan B, because it's likely he'll find the door slam shut in his face pretty soon.

If his strategy is what it seemed like when he resigned from the KIO to form a new political party in order to contest the polls, he'll have a fallback position. Or he'll be the proverbial monkey with no branch to grab hold of.

The best KSPP should denounce the Election Commission as a puppet commission of Burmese regime with too much bias. KSPP should boycott 2010 election and withdraw party registration not recognizing 2008 constitution.

As many observers said, the election would become a selection and a question of legitimacy is at risk already, since NLD will not participate.

If decide to contest despite last minute approval, KSPP will get at least bones from this dinner party (2010 election). Only dog eat bones mate!
