The United GCBA, also known as the Ngawbinwsaing (Burmese for "Five Flowers Alliance"), was a political party in Burma led by U Ba Pe.
The party was formed in 1936 as a successor to the People's Party, [1] and gained its name "Five Flowers Alliance" from the fact that it consisted of five parties; the People's Party, the Free Burma Party led by U Maung Gyi, the Wun Thar Nu GCBA of Ye U Sayadaw, the Boycott GCBA led by U Ba Si and the Upper Burma 21 group; [2] the party was largely based on factions of the General Council of Burmese Associations (GCBA). [3] In the general elections later in the year, the party won 46 of the 132 seats, but U Ba Pe was unable to form a government. The party was renamed the Nationalist Party the following year, but disintegrated shortly afterwards due to factional infighting. [3] One of the party's MPs, U Saw, subsequently founded the Patriot's Party. [4]
The Anti-Fascist People's Freedom League, or hpa hsa pa la (ဖဆပလ) by its Burmese acronym, was the main political alliance in Burma from 1945 until 1958. It was founded by the Communist Party of Burma (CPB) led by Thakin Soe, the Burma National Army (BNA) led by Aung San, and the People's Revolutionary Party (PRP) at a meeting held between 1–3 March 1945 as a reorganised version of the Anti-Fascist Organisation (AFO), formed to resist the Japanese occupation. The new organisation aimed to resist the Japanese occupation and achieve independence.
The National United Front was a political alliance in Burma.
The Communist Party of Burma, also known as the Burma Communist Party (BCP) is the oldest existing political party in Myanmar (Burma). It was founded on 15 August 1939 at a meeting attended by seven founding members, including Aung San, widely regarded as the father of modern-day Myanmar. The party was banned in 1953 by the government of Myanmar, and its operation remains illegal in the country.
General elections were held in Burma on 26 November 1936. The Government of Burma Act 1935 separated Burma from British India as of 1 April 1937, and created a 36-seat Senate and a 132-seat House of Representatives. The pro-constitution United GCBA of U Ba Pe emerged as the largest bloc in the House of Representatives, winning 46 seats. However, few parties were willing to work with U Ba Pe, and the Governor invited Ba Maw to form a government, despite his Poor Man's Party winning only 16 seats. Maw became Chief Minister after forming a coalition with Chit Hlaing and other "moderate extremists".
General elections were held in Burma on 9 November 1932, having originally been planned for 29 October. The election was held almost solely on the issue of whether Burma should separate from India, as the British government had indicated that it would take the outcome of the elections as an indication of Burmese opinion. Prior to the elections many of the major parties joined either the Anti-Separation League or the Separation League.
Legislative Council elections were held in Burma on 21 November 1922, the first in the country's history.
