1990 Elections

After the September 18 coup, Bo Saw Maung announced there would be multi-party elections and hundreds of political parties formed.Daw Aung San Suu Kyi joined with the politicians U Tin Oo and U Aung Gyi(who later left the party) to form the National Legue for Democracy(NLD).People loyal to the army and to the BSPP formed the National Unity Party(NUP).

    The SLORC assumed the NUP would win the election.They thought voters would be divided among the many pro-democracy parties that had formed.They also arrested popular leaders and limited the new parties ability to campaign.Finally the SLORC assumed the NUP would win the elections, because they believed they had the support of many people.
