History

Following the reintroduction of multi-party democracy after the 8888 Uprising, the party contested three seats in the 1990 general elections.[1] It received 0.12% of the vote, winning two seats; U Khun Marko Ban in Pekhon and U R.P. Thaung in Thandaung.[2]

The party was banned by the military government in 1992.[2] Party members later established the Kayan National Party.[3]

gollark: I'm quite confident that the majority of user-facing ~~ones~~ computer systems have most of the development effort invested in random applications software which doesn't need to be hyperoptimized.
gollark: The top end grows, but most applications actually aren't that.
