U Soe Htet, who leads the New Chinland Congress under the alias Salai Melu, has urged constituents to back his organization in upcoming parliamentary contests restricted to Chin State constituencies. The political group emerged through consultations with regional intellectuals, activists, and community leaders who have shaped policy direction for the mountainous territory where indigenous residents comprise the demographic majority.
The chairman outlined a four-point agenda centered on brokering ceasefires among warring factions, reconstructing infrastructure damaged by military confrontations, advancing the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement signed a decade ago, and establishing farm-based economic activity suited to local terrain and water availability. He referenced the Kaladan Multimodal Transit Transport Project crossing Paletwa Township as vital for agricultural expansion.
Armed hostilities have displaced populations and disrupted education and medical services throughout the state, according to the party leader. He appealed to voters seeking stability to support candidates represented by paired Oriental Pied Hornbills alongside rhododendron flowers, the party symbol meant to reflect cultural heritage valued by Chin communities across nine administrative townships.
