Arakan League for Democracy

The Arakan League for Democracy (Burmese: ရခိုင်ဒီမိုကရေစီ အဖွဲ့ချုပ်; abbreviated ALD) is a political party active in Rakhine State, Myanmar (Burma).

It contested 25 seats in the 1990 general elections,[1] receiving the majority of the vote at the Rakhine State.

[5] In November, members of the ALD claimed that they had been threatened by local authorities with the abolition of the party, due to an alleged recruitment membership fraud.

[6] With the formation of the new party, the Arakan League for Democracy was officially dissolved on 6 March 2014.

[7][8][9][10] On 8 January 2017, former leaders of the ALD announced that they were splitting from the ANP and were re-registering with the Union Election Commission for the 2020 elections, citing internal issues and RNDP dominance in the ANP as the reasons for the split.
