U Htay Oo, who replaced U Shwe Mann as the USDP chairman on August 13, said the party's leadership change was done with consolidation within the party and it would not bear grudge over any person.

The party would enter the November 8 general election without change of its candidates, he said, stressing that there was also no change in the party's policy.
