- Rakhine and Karen state
Since the coup, state or ethnic based political coordination body has not been seen yet in Rakhine and Karen states. This may be due to the fact that ethnic political parties in these states (Rakhine National Party and Karen National Democratic Party) are cooperating with the State Administration Council (SAC) or that ethnic based armed groups (KNU and AA) are thought to have enough representation and sufficient leadership to their respective state and people so that a new extra political coordination body is thought unnecessary or they have not yet been ready to form coordination body like other States.
