Mizzima
The National Unity Government (NUG) and the K3C alliance comprising the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO), Karen National Union (KNU), Karenni National Progressive Party (KNPP), and Chin National Front (CNF) are in active negotiations to establish a new collective leadership framework intended to unify the Myanmar Spring Revolution.
The discussions were first made public by Lieutenant General Gun Maw, vice chairman of the KIO, during the 65th Kachin Revolution Day event held in Texas in the United States, on 8 February. He said the proposed collective leadership mechanism currently referred to as a “Steering Council”, remains at a conceptual stage and is still under discussion pending final approval.
U Nay Phone Latt, spokesperson for the NUG Prime Minister’s Office, confirmed to Mizzima on 10 February that such talks are ongoing, adding that the formation of a collective leadership body reflects public aspirations and is a necessary step for the success of the revolution.
“There are ongoing discussions to form a leadership organization. Since these talks are still in progress, the specifics and current status will be officially announced at the appropriate time. I cannot provide further details for now,” U Nay Phone Latt said.
The NUG and K3C members previously issued a “Common Position” outlining their main objectives on 31 January 2025. This included ending the military dictatorship and establishing a Federal Democratic Union.
Lieutenant General Gun Maw also suggested that 2026 could be a year of significant change, emphasizing that the KIA continues to pursue its military objectives.
If the proposed collective leadership system is established, it could create more coordinated leadership among revolutionary forces and enhance both their military and political momentum.
