Myanmar’s Military Government Announces General Election Dates
Myanmar’s military leader, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, has declared that a general election will occur within the next ten months, likely in December 2025 or January 2026. This announcement follows four years after the military coup and includes the participation of 53 political parties in the electoral process.
On Saturday, state-run media reported that Myanmar’s military leader, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, announced the scheduling of a general election within the next ten months. This declaration comes four years after the military coup that overthrew the democratically elected government. The general indicated that the election is expected to take place in December 2025 or by January 2026 at the latest.
During a press conference held while visiting Belarus, a notable ally of Myanmar’s military regime, General Hlaing revealed that 53 political parties have already submitted their lists to participate in the upcoming elections. This announcement marks a significant step in the ongoing political situation in Myanmar, where the military government has faced extensive criticism and resistance since it took control in 2021.
The announcement of Myanmar’s upcoming general election is a key development in the country’s political landscape. General Min Aung Hlaing’s indication of December 2025 or January 2026 for the election suggests a potential return to electoral processes, albeit under military oversight. The participation of 53 political parties may reflect a complex political dynamic as Myanmar continues to navigate the consequences of the military coup.
