Sources from MPs, the diplomat community, and the media said that representatives from both the military and the NLD met to negotiate demands from the Tatmadaw (the official name of Myanmar’s armed forces) on January 28. In particular, the military was raising questions about the recent elections, which took place last November 2020, where the NLD dominated. According to them, there were too many irregularities for the Tatmadaw to ignore. They wanted a recount of votes and to hold another election, according to sources in Naypyidaw.
