The UNA is an ethnic political-parties alliance and comprises of parties that contested in the 1990 election.

According to recent news, the parties that applied for new membership are Kachin State Democracy Party (KSDP), Rakhine Patriotic Party (RPP) and Chin League for Democracy (CLD).

“There are three political parties that have applied for membership in the UNA. They request to become members because they want to collaborate with our UNA. These parties are ethnic parties. Concerning a new membership application, we have to discuss the issue with UNA members [first],” said U Aye Thar Aung, of Arakan National Party (ANP) and leader of the UNA .

“We negotiate with other ethnic parties because we want, per our party’s objective, to work for the benefits of our state, our people and our union. Thus, we have decided to join the UNA as its member,“ said U Manam Tu Ja, the chairman of KSDP.

The UNA held its first conference in December 2014. Its members also met before the 2015 election to discuss how to win major votes.

As a result, about 100 representatives from the UNA won in the recent elections and have been elected into seats throughout all three Hluttaw.

The UNA members are Shan Nationalities League for Democracy (SNLD), Mon National Party (MNP), Kayah National Party (KNP), Kachin National Democracy Congress Party (KNDCP), Arakan National Party (ANP), Zomi Democracy League Party (ZDLP), Karen National Party (KNP), and Shan State Kokang Democratic Party (SSKDP).
