YANGON: Wa News Land, a local news outlet, said on September 5 that the public may file a complaint to the justice department of Wa to prevent public mobilisation and election campaigning in Hopan and Panglong towns, which are controlled by the Wa.
The Wa self-administered areas established under the 2008 constitution include towns previously controlled by the United Wa State Party/United Wa State Army (UWSP/UWSA), as well as towns where the government administration operated. Hopan and Panglong townships are also townships where the government administration was in operation and elections were held.
