The Arakan League for Democracy (ALD) (Burmese: ရခိုင်ဒီမိုကရေစီ အဖွဲ့ချုပ်) was a political party that operated in Rakhine State of Myanmar.
History
The ALD was founded on 27 September 1989, in Yangon, and it was registered with the election commission on 2 October 1989. It contested 25 seats in the 1990 general elections,[2] receiving the majority of the vote at the Rakhine State.[3] Nationally it received 1.2% of the vote, winning 11 seats, making it the third-largest party.[4] However, the ALD was banned by the military government on 6 March 1992.[5]
On 6 April 2012, the ALD was allowed to be re-established as a political party by the Union Election Commission, as its application complied with the law and rules of the election commission.[6] 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.[3]
On 17 June 2013, The Rakhine Nationalities Development Party and the Arakan League for Democracy signed an agreement to merge under the name of Rakhine National Party.[7] With the formation of the new party, the Arakan League for Democracy was officially dissolved on 6 March 2014.[8][9][10][11]
