Lately, the question of whether 8 States or 14 States and Regions should be used for the equitable power-sharing solution, in rebuilding a genuine federal union, has rear its head and come up again, as a main sticking point for the fusion of Shan Nationalities League for Democracy (SNLD) and Shan Nationalities Democratic Party (SNDP), the two Shan political parties.
SNLD is headed by Hkun Htoon Oo, which had won the second place in 1990 nationwide election after Aung San Suu Kyi led National League for Democracy (NLD) and came out first in Shan State. SNDP is led by Sai Aik Pao, which came out third in 2010 nationwide election, after Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) and National Unity Party (NUP).
