Myanmar's Sham Election: Fear and Forced Votes
Update: 2025-12-26
Description
Myanmars first election in nearly five years is underway, but its marred by fear and uncertainty. The military-backed USDP is the frontrunner, but the vote is widely seen as a sham due to the dissolution of the popular NLD and the imprisonment of Aung San Suu Kyi. The junta is cracking down hard, with new laws jailing anyone urging boycotts or protests. Despite the risks, many will still vote out of necessity, as the country remains gripped by fear and exhaustion from the ongoing civil war.
