Chin National League for Democracy

The Chin National League for Democracy (Burmese: ချင်းအမျိုးသားဒီမိုကရေစီအဖွဲ့ချုပ်, CNLD) is a political party in Myanmar.

History

Following the reintroduction of multi-party democracy after the 8888 Uprising, the CNLD contested 13 seats in the 1990 general elections. It received 0.4% of the vote, winning three seats: U.C.K. Taikwell in Falam 1, Zahle Tang in Falam 2 and U Shein Pe Ling in Mindat.

The party was banned by the military government on 18 March 1992, but was a member of the government-in-exile.

The party did not contest the 2010 general elections, but did run in the 2015 elections.
