Local media in Taunggyi in southern Shan State, Myanmar, reported that since November, the Tunggyi Management Committee has implemented the transfer of neighborhood managers. There are 22 blocks in Donggyi City, and in the first round of personnel appointments, 5 neighborhood managers will be replaced and transferred, and the authorities will announce the appointment notice of new block managers.
A person familiar with the matter said that the change of block administrator is to prepare for the general election, and five blocks of Dido, Boyaphyu, Ganang, Yeai Stick and Saisethon are on the preferred list. Among them, the residents of the Sesethon, Boyaphau and Dido neighborhoods are mostly military family members.
The person went on to say that during the 2020 election, the neighborhood where the military family lived was lost, and if the incident is reported by the media, the next plan may change. At the same time, important administrative-related positions, including general affairs administrators, are generally held by military family members or cronies.
During the 2020 general election, 254 polling stations were set up in Tung Gyi, the capital of Shan State, with 324913 voters entitled to vote. According to the data released by the then government, during the 2020 general election, the NLD party won in all constituencies in Tung Gyi.
Since February 1, 2021, the Myanmar National Management Commission has made many personnel adjustments from the top to the grassroots level. It is learned from the statement of the State Management Commission that the personnel change is to inject more fresh blood and let the young and promising new generation shoulder more responsibilities. Next, Myanmar politics will continue to welcome new ruling officials. In addition, military generals in the reserve may participate in peace, parliament and related matters.
