History
One of several parties originating from the General Council of Burmese Associations, the Hlaing-Myat-Paw GCBA was a merger of the factions led by Chit Hlaing and U Su.[2] The party contested the 1936 general elections, although it put forward no manifesto except hostility to the new constitution.[3] It won 12 seats in the House of Representatives, and was included in the coalition government formed by Ba Maw; Chit Hlaing became Speaker of the House and party member U Paw Tun was appointed to the cabinet.[3]
