How political parties address election security and campaign issues

Some political parties have warned that parties competing in the junta-led election at the end of the year could face campaigning and security challenges.

Anti-coup resistance forces have already threatened to strongly oppose the election and fight by all means, calling it a sham aimed at legitimizing the junta.

Coup leader Senior General Min Aung Hlaing assured on August 12 that security measures will be implemented for political parties and candidates from the campaign period through the voting period.

Parties contesting the election have said the junta must ensure security and facilitate campaigning activities.
