Myanmar’s NUG and NUCC announce Spring Revolution unstoppable despite fake election of junta

The National Unity Government (NUG) and the National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC) issued a joint statement on 24 December 2024 asserting that the country’s Spring Revolution will not be derailed by what they described as the “fake election” planned by the military junta, and it is not a political exit for Myanmar’s crisis.

According to the statement, the junta’s proposed 2025 election is designed solely to perpetuate military control and cannot resolve Myanmar’s political crisis. The NUG and NUCC emphasized their continued resistance to the election, calling it illegitimate and reiterating that the 2008 Constitution, under which the election would be held, has already been abolished.
