In effect he was prime minister but remained subject to the British governor's veto. After conferring with the British prime minister Clement Attlee in London, he announced an agreement(Jan. 27, 1947) that promised Burma's independence within one year. In the election for a constitutional assembly in April 1947, his AFPFL won 196 of 202 seats. Though communists had denounced him as "tool of British imperialism", he supported a resolution for Burmese independence outside the British Commonwealth.
On July 19, 1947, at 10:37 am, the prime minister and six colleagues, including his brother, were assassinated in the council chamber in Rangoon while the executive council was in session. His political rival, Galon U Saw, was later executed for his part in the killings.
