Junta-Backed Party Leads Myanmar Election
Update: 2026-01-03
Description
In Myanmars first general election since the 2021 military coup, the junta-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party dominates, winning 38 out of 40 seats in the lower house and 14 out of 15 regional seats. The election, marred by low turnout and international condemnation, is seen as illegitimate due to the dissolution of Aung San Suu Kyis National League for Democracy and the bar on anti-junta parties. Two more voting rounds are scheduled, but stability remains elusive in the war-torn nation.
