　　缅甸大选或因洪灾而推迟
　　因近期的自然灾害，选举委员会要求推迟缅甸十一月份的大选。联邦选举委员会希望因此次突发的洪水灾害而推迟原定于十一月八日的选举。
　　据报道，缅甸钦邦以及缅甸中部的实皆地区已有100多人死于此次的洪水灾害。因缅甸最近的洪水泛滥，受灾群众达160万人。该数据出自当地政府机构以及联合国人道主义事务协调厅。政府官员称，在周二召开的紧急会议上，反对延迟选举日期的只有缅甸全国民主联盟总书记昂山素季。
　　至少有三方政党表示支持委员会推迟选举这一建议。他们分别是联邦巩固发展党，农民发展党以及民族发展党。观察员称，三方表示，他们将让委员会决定何时举行选举。少数民族政党受邀参加此次紧急会议，但并未出席。选举委员会早些时候宣布，一些地方将不会举行投票选举。这些地方大多是位于克钦邦和掸族地区的村庄，那里的武装组织还在进行着反政府活动。一些观察员认为，政治可能是选举推迟的原因之一。许多观察员认为，全国民主联盟将在此次的选举中获胜。预计在未来几天内，选举委员会将作出公开声明。一些政党领导人表示，委员会将努力推迟选举日期。
　　1990全国民主联盟在竞选中获得了80%的席位。但执政党不认可选举结果，拒绝交出权力。还将昂山素季监禁了十几年。根据缅甸法律规定，下一届的选举活动需要在下一届议会的第一次会议开始前30到90天内举行。而会议设定的日期为1月30号。超过6000多名候选人想在全国议会、州以及地区立法机构中获得一席之位。而政府以父母为公民身份为由禁止至少75名独立或反对党候选人参加竞选。
