NLD meeting focuses on cabinet portfolios and minister selection

The Central Executive Committee (CEC) meeting of the National League for Democracy was held in Naypyitaw on January 10 and focused on the selection of ministers for the forthcoming new cabinet and the merging of some ministries, NLD party spokesman and CEC member Nyan Win said.
“We have been considering portfolios and positions but have not yet made final decisions,” NLD spokesman and CEC member Nyan Win said to media after the meeting.
The NLD, which won general elections in November, has to form a new government and its CEC meeting was held at Aung San Suu Kyi’s residence, Rose Villa, Ottarathiri Township, Naypyitaw and lasted about two and half hours.
“We discussed both of these sectors and there will be a final resolution soon,” he said.
Nyan Win also said that in their new government, generally, at least, two to three ministries would be merged.
The CEC meeting was attended by CEC members Nyan Win, Win Myint, Dr.Zaw Myint Maung, and May Win Myint among others.
