A three-phase general election is planned in Myanmar, with the first phase set to take place on 28 December and the second and third phases on 11 and 25 January 2026, respectively. The election would be the first since the 2021 coup that ousted the country’s last elected government and triggered a civil war. The election is seen as an attempt by the junta to establish a stable administration. However, the process may face several obstacles amid the ongoing civil war and condemnations by the opposition and international observers.
