Despite expectations that the separationists would win,[3][1] the Anti-Separation League won a majority of seats. However, the anti-separationists were not in favour of maintaining the union with India, but instead called for a better constitution for a separate Burma.[7] They rejected the constitution proposed by the Prime Minister following the Burma Round-Table Conference, but also rejected the permanent federation with India, and declared they would enter the Indian Federation, but with the right to withdraw.[5] CampaignA total of 207 candidates contested the elections;[1] The People's Party headed by U Ba Pe, part of the Separation League, put forward 54, whilst the Independent Party of Joseph Augustus Maung Gyi had 49.[1] Within the Anti-Separation League, the Mawmyintbye Party of Ba Maw and the party led by Chit Hlaing participated in the elections.[6][7] The Anti-Separation League was well-funded by Indian commercial interests concerned about potential separation, and was backed by Buddhist monks,[8] who the Separation League sought to ban from politics.[4] By contrast, the Separation League was poorly-funded and had little widespread support.[4] ResultsWithin the Anti-Separation League the Mawmyintbye Party won the most seats, whilst the People's Party emerged as the largest within the Separation League.[6] The Times noted that the surprise defeat of the separationists was caused by "wild stories" that the country would become a "white man's paradise and home to the British unemployed, that taxation would be heavily increased, even dogs and poultry would be taxed; and that the Buddhist religion would be ruined".[9]
