After voting, the Senior General said: “We just have to accept the result that comes from the people’s desire, we can’t deny it.”

“I hope for the best for our country,” said Defence Minister Lieutenant General Sein Win before casting his vote.   

The deputy commander-in-chief, the Chief of General Staff, and the ministers for defence, home affairs and border affairs also voted at the Anawratha ward polling station.
