Karen National Party

Political party in Myanmar

The Karen National Party (S'gaw Karen: ကညီဒီကလုာ်ပၣ်တံၣ်, Burmese: ကရင်အမျိုးသားပါတီ; KNP) is a political party in Myanmar (Burma). The party was registered on 24 October 2014.[3] Despite being based in Yangon, the party only contested constituencies in Kayin State (Karen State) in the 2015 general election. After the government relaxed naming rules in 2012, the party changed its name from the then government approved "Kayin" National Party to the Karen National Party.[4]
