Myanmar’s military junta has announced dates for a three-phase election, with the final round scheduled for January 25. According to a notice published in the state-run Global New Light of Myanmar, voting will take place in 202 of the country’s 330 administrative areas on December 28 and January 11, followed by 63 townships in the third phase. Junta leader Min Aung Hlaing admitted that nationwide voting would not be possible. This will be the first election since the military seized power in 2021, though no date has been set for vote counting or result announcements.
The junta hopes the election will legitimize its rule and improve its international image. Analysts, however, doubt the process will lead to stability, noting that the country remains in civil conflict, with the main political party dissolved and about one-third of Myanmar under rebel control. Many question whether a free and fair election is possible under military rule.
Western governments and the United Nations have dismissed the vote as a sham, while China, the junta’s key ally, supports it as a step toward stability. Conflict monitoring group ACLED reported a 30 percent rise in air and drone strikes this year, with civilian infrastructure increasingly targeted.
