Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw
After the military seized power on February 1, 2021, 298 parliamentarians held the first emergency session of the third Hluttaw by video conference on February 5, 2021, forming the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH). At that session, the "Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw" was formed with 15 parliamentarians and assigned to carry out the legislative work of the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw.
On February 10, the committee added two members from ethnic parties, bringing it to 17 members. Following a decision at its meeting on April 26, 2021, it added three more members. U Aung Kyi Nyunt was elected committee chair, and it is made up of a three-member secretariat and 16 members.
On March 5, 2021, the CRPH announced the following four political goals:
- Ending military dictatorship
- Releasing all detainees, including President U Win Myint and State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
- Achieving full democracy
- Abolishing the 2008 Constitution and drafting a new constitution based on a federal system
The first session of the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw was held on February 5, 2021, and formed the CRPH. The second session was held on June 30, 2021, the third on February 5, 2022, the fourth on April 18, 2022, and the fifth from January 31 to February 2, 2023.
On March 1, 2021, the CRPH declared the State Administration Council (SAC) a terrorist group. On March 31, 2021, it abolished the 2008 Constitution.
The CRPH recognized and supported the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) against the illegal coup, and the people and civil servants protesting peacefully. The CRPH is organized with committees on legal affairs, vetting of parliamentarians, finance, public affairs, federal affairs, security and defence, international relations, information, National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC) affairs, education, labour, and women, youth and children's affairs, and continually publishes the work related to these committees.
The CRPH is also a member organization of the National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC).
