Supporters of the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) rallied near the Supreme Court of the Union in Na Pyi Taw on January 29.

The rallies came as a hearing took place via video conferencing before three judges of the Supreme Court to decide it would accept the writs filed against 15 persons including the President and Union Election Commission chair for alleged electoral fraud.

The USDP supporters went round in about 100 vehicles carrying the party flags and chanting slogans.

The convoy of the supporters also rallied on the road leading to the Supreme Court.
