Myanmar junta chief announces election for December or January

Writer: Saw Kyaw OoSaw Kyaw Oo

NAYPYIDAW: Myanmar’s military government will hold a general election in December 2025 or January 2026, state media said on Saturday (Mar 8), citing the junta chief, who provided the first specific time frame for the long-promised polls in the war-torn nation.


Myanmar has been turmoil since early 2021, when the military ousted an elected civilian government led by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, triggering a protest movement that morphed into an armed rebellion against the junta across the Southeast Asian country.
