It needs 322 seats for a majority.
However, the NLD’s performance in the race state elections has been low due to the racial parties coming together.This is the second consecutive victory for Myanmar State Councilor Aung San Suu Kyi’s party NLD since 2015.
The main opposition party, the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), won a total of 33 seats, 26 in the lower house and 7 in the upper house of parliament. Won 41 seats in the 2015 election.
