So completely pro-military political selections.

The remaining question is whether the junta-appointed NLA will give any a majority vote as last time it refused all seven candidates (none allowed to re-apply). No big deal if all candidates are rejected, the existing EC members will simply continue to serve in violation of the Constitution (failed the new qualifications), but with permission of the NLA.
