May everyone in Myanmar live in auspiciousness, and may all citizens enjoy good health and well-being. First of all, I extend my best wishes to you. I am Naw Thazin Tope, Second Secretary of the Central Committee of the Karen National Democratic Party (K.N.D.P.). I will now present the principles, policies, and future activities of the Karen National Democratic Party.

The Karen National Democratic Party (K.N.D.P.) aims to work together with all citizens of Myanmar’s ethnic communities living within Kayin State to build a peaceful and prosperous Kayin State, thereby contributing to the construction of a strong and united Myanmar in the future.

The Karen National Democratic Party (K.N.D.P.) is a political party that represents the Karen ethnic people living together in Kayin State, as well as all other ethnic groups and communities.
Therefore, the party is participating in the 2025 election to work together with the Kayin ethnic people, other ethnic groups, and communities living in Kayin State to jointly address and find solutions to the social, political, and economic challenges they currently face.
I will now present the five political policies of the Karen National Democratic Party (K.N.D.P.) –
These are: to build a nation where all eight ethnic groups and communities can live together equally and harmoniously; to stand independently in a democratic manner, according to the will of the people, without accepting the influence or pressure of any individual, organization, or political party; to form alliances with political parties that share the same objectives and goals, and to jointly work on national development and peacemaking efforts; to undertake amendments and supplements to the Constitution to construct a Union based on democracy and a federal system; and to assess the changing conditions across the Republic of the Union of Myanmar and follow a neutral, moderate path that ensures harmony and balance.

I will now present the plans of the Karen National Democratic Party (K.N.D.P.). These are:

To formulate and implement short-term, medium-term, and long-term policies on education and livelihoods for Kayin youth and other ethnic minority youth living in Kayin State; to develop and implement policies in collaboration with the Union government that can address the difficulties and problems faced by migrant workers; to collaborate with the Union government in formulating and implementing technical and investment policies aimed at advancing the agricultural and livestock sectors.

To coordinate with the Union government in formulating and implementing policies for livelihoods that conserve the natural environment and minimize environmental degradation, and to work with relevant stakeholders and organizations in Kayin State to develop and implement policies promoting stability, peace, and comprehensive development.
To formulate and implement effective policies, in coordination with relevant organizations, that ensure all prisoners serving sentences under the law can live in prison according to international human rights standards and receive fair and just opportunities for release and peaceful reintegration;

To implement policies based on standards that promote the rights of every citizen in education, health, and social affairs; to join hands with the Ministry of Ethnic Affairs in implementing international conventions regarding the rights of women and children; to work together with the Union government to prioritize and address the needs and resettlement programmes for people displaced by armed conflicts;

To formulate and implement laws and policies that recognize and respect the traditional land management practices of ethnic communities, and to undertake actions that ensure sustainable development based on human knowledge and human resource capacities.

The Karen National Democratic Party (K.N.D.P.) is a political party formed to serve the interests of all Kayin people according to their aspirations. It emerged from the reunification of four Kayin-based parties in Kayin State, which had been established before 2017.

We vow to strive for and implement efforts to ensure a better future for Kayin State and all Myanmar citizens living within Kayin State.

* Vote for K.N.D.P. to achieve equal and balanced development.

* Improve the livelihoods of the people with the emblems Buffalo horns, Frog drum, and Red sun.

The translated presentation of Saw Min Min Myaing, Central Executive member of the Karen National Development Party (K.N.D.P.) in Myanmar, from the Poe Kayin language —

Esteemed gentlemen and beloved national brethren, I sincerely wish you auspiciousness, prosperity, completeness, peace, and happiness.

I am Saw Min Min Myaing, Central Executive Committee member of the Karen National Democratic Party (K.N.D.P.). I will contest as a candidate for the Kayin State Hluttaw in the multiparty democratic general election 2025.

The multiparty democratic general election is the lifeblood of democracy. Everyone must contribute and cooperate for the development of the nation and the state.

We will strive to preserve and promote Kayin literature, culture, and traditions, as well as to safeguard the national heritage passed down and protected by our ancestors and elders as the rightful legacy of the Kayin people. We will also work to uphold and promote significant Kayin national occasions such as Kayin New Year Day, the traditional Kayin Wrist-Tying Ceremony, and Kayin National Day.

The “Buffalo Horns and Frog Drum with Nine Rays” is the emblem of the Karen National Democratic Party (K.N.D.P.). Please remember it well. I would be deeply grateful if you cherish the Kayin people and hold the K.N.D.P. in high regard. In the 2025 election, all esteemed Kayin voters need to consider our party to cast their votes.

May everyone be healthy. May you succeed in all things.

The translated presentation of Saw Min Min Myaing, Central Executive member of the Karen National Development Party (K.N.D.P.) in Myanmar, from the Sakaw Kayin language —

May you be peaceful, prosperous, and blessed with all virtues.

The multiparty democratic general election 2025 is of great importance for the nation and the people. It will not only reflect the will of the people but also make them aware of the matters that need to be carried out for the country.

We must prioritize non-disintegration of the Union, non-disintegration of national solidarity and perpetuation of sovereignty, and act step by step to uphold these principles. As voters, the public must cast their votes correctly and without error. Each vote is precious, and it must be used wisely. Cast your vote for the “Buffalo Horns, Frog Drum, and Red Sun” emblem of the Karen National Democratic Party (K.N.D.P.). For the sake of Kayin State and its people, ensure that your vote does not go to waste—vote for our K.N.D.P.

Please cast your vote for the Karen National Democratic Party (K.N.D.P.).

May everyone be healthy. May you succeed in all things.
