Pu Lian Nawn; Chin League for Democracy Party candidate
Many people don’t understand the voting process so there might be cases of them not voting and this makes me feel depressed. I believe the voters are still weak (in understanding how and who to cast their votes). Everything else is okay. I believe the current situation is good for winning the election.
Pu En Kan Gu; Zomi Congress for Democracy candidate
I have worked for two-months for the election. It has taken this long to explain to the public about what I am doing. There are people who understood, and those that didn’t. We benefit from those that understood us. That’s why I’m really worried people will vote for the wrong person, even though they want to vote for me. I know that I have won their hearts. If it’s a free and fair election, I expect to receive between 65 and 70 percent of the votes. If there are 100,000 ballots, I expect to receive between 65,000 and 70,000. I can’t do anything if choose to vote for another candidate.
Dr. Kam Cin Dal; Chin National Democratic Party candidate
I’m not feeling excited but feel secure that I will win. I’ve received phone calls from Homalin and Tamu last night and this morning. Everything is good; I was told that I was on the top in Tamu. I have visited many areas in Kalay. I told the public that after the 2015 Election the government won’t be able to form with only the NLD nor the USDP. They can only form a government by cooperating with the hilly state parties. They understood this. I didn’t speak much about myself, only talked about the political situation of the country.
Pu Khua Tio; Union Solidarity and Development Party candidate
Tomorrow’s election will be a free and fair. I can’t estimate whether or not I will win. We can only know the desires and feelings of the public are. Everyone that runs in the election believes they will win, but the real decision depends on the public and I’m ready to accept their decisions.
