TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Myanmar Junta has announced that it will hold the long-promised elections beginning on December 28, 2025. According to Al Jazeera report, the Union Election Commission declared on Monday, August 18, that the elections will be held in phases.

Myanmar’s military government says national elections will begin on 28 December 2025, despite a civil war, Aung San Suu Kyi’s continued imprisonment, opposition boycotts and UN warnings the vote is a “fraud”.

Myanmar's junta said Monday that long-promised elections will start on December 28, despite a raging civil war that has put much of the country out of its control, and international monitors slating the poll as a charade.
