Myanmar Regime Sets More Traps to Guarantee Election Win

Myanmar’s military regime on Monday promulgated a second amendment to the Political Parties Registration Law, allowing the dissolution of any party accused of electoral fraud or unlawful conduct during voting.

Observers say the move is designed to minimize the risk from potential challengers as the regime takes every measure necessary to secure victory in its planned December poll.

Enacted by the junta in 2023, the new Political Parties Registration Law required national parties to recruit at least 100,000 members within 90 days of their registration being approved, and open offices in at least half of the country’s 330 townships within six months.
