The Democratic Organisation for Kayan National Unity (Burmese: ကယန်းအမျိုးသားများ စည်းလုံးညီညွတ်ရေး ဒီမိုကရေစီအဖွဲ့; DOKNU) was a political party in Myanmar.
History[edit]
Following the reintroduction of multi-party democracy after the 8888 Uprising, the party contested three seats in the 1990 general elections.[1] It received 0.12% of the vote, winning two seats; U Khun Marko Ban in Pekhon and U R.P. Thaung in Thandaung.[2]
The party was banned by the military government in 1992.[2] Party members later established the Kayan National Party.[3]
