The ruling Union Solidarity and Development Party of Thein Sein have started rolling out Election Posters for their campaign. The opposition National League for Democracy Party also is campaigning with flags, posters and stickers.
This 30 image pictorial shows momentum and popularity of both parties through the first week of November 2015 across the streets of Yangon. All images copyright David DuByne 2015.
Support on the streets of Yangon in the first week of November 2015 is decidedly in the favor of the National League for Democracy Party headed by Aung San Suu Kyi. Union Solidarity and Development Party of Thein Sein have started rolling out Election Posters for their campaign. This is a look at what I saw first hand while moving around the city from meeting to meeting.
What I noticed is NDL supporters were citizens across every walk of life from rickshaw drivers to shop owners to monks flying the red colors. I personally did not see any USDP flags, stickers or T-shirts being worn across the city.
