The Myanmar Junta’s election commission has just announced plans to hold a “multiparty democratic general election” on Sunday, December 28, 2025. The commission was formed the previous month. It is seen as a sign that the junta is recognizing its inability to hold a land it took through force, denying the results of a fair and free election, though skepticism abounds as to whether the election will actually happen.

Excerpt:
Myanmar’s election commission has announced that the general polls will be held in Myanmar on December 28, state media reported.
The “multi-party democratic general election” will be held on Sunday, December 28, later this year, MRTV reported on Monday, citing a notification by the Union Election Commission.
The last general elections in the Buddhist-majority Southeast Asian country were held in November 2020, won by the National League of Democracy (NLD), which was ousted in a military coup in February 2021.
The announcement of polls came after the military junta last month formed a commission to oversee general elections, effectively signalling the end of the state of emergency rule.
Junta chief Senior General Min Aung Hlaing also appointed himself as acting president.
