Myanmar’s junta officially postpones promised election FMTNews FMTWorld
CHIANG MAI: Myanmar’s ruling junta has officially postponed an election promised by August this year after its 2021 coup, state television reported late yesterday.
The military had pledged to hold elections by August 2023 after it overthrew the elected government headed by Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, but it cited ongoing violence as a reason to postpone the vote. Myanmar has been in chaos since the coup, with a resistance movement fighting the military on multiple fronts after a bloody crackdown on opponents that drew global condemnation and saw western sanctions re-imposed.
