Myanmar¡¯s military-led government is holding a phased general election amid a civil war convulsing large areas of the Southeast Asian nation.
The military ousted the elected government of Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi in a February 2021 coup, just as it was preparing for a second term in office following a landslide election win months before.
The generals promised to restore the democratic system and accused Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy party of electoral fraud, a charge that she rejected. International election monitors reported no irregularities.
