Myanmar Junta ends emergency rules after 4 years: election in December; Opposition claims proceed to strengthen military power

The military government of Myanmar officially ended the Emergency situation over 4 years ago.The signs of the move are planned to hold national elections by the end of the year, although opposition groups vow to boycott the pole, which many people believe will further enter military control.Juver’s leader Min Aung Holting signed an order to cancel the emergency rules starting in February 2021 on Thursday, when the army excluded the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi. At that time, the generals claimed widespread fraud in the 2020 election, which was won by Suu’s National League for Democracy in a landslide. No evidence of fraud was ever provided.Janta spokesman Zau Min Tune was quoted as news agency AFP, “The emergency has been abolished by the country to hold elections for a multi-party democracy.” “Elections will be held within six months,” he said.Despite the announcement, Min Aung Halling remains both the lead and acting president of the armed forces, which strengthens his control over the political and military structures of the country. “We have already passed the first chapter,” Min Aung Hling said during a speech at Naypidav, “Reported in the global new light run by the state of Myanmar. “Now, we are starting the second chapter,” he told the members of the administrative council of Junta during “a” honorary ceremony “.The army has formed a new “central government” and a separate “National Security and Peace Commission” to maintain rescue and manage elections. Both bodies are headed by Min Aung Having.Although no accurate polling date has been announced, preparations are underway, including party registration and training on electronic voting machines.Opposition groups, including former MPs in the coup, have promised to boycott the election. Security concerns can further limit the reliability of the pole. Last year, a census failed to collect data from about 19 million out of 51 million people in Myanmar citing security barriers. The army has warned of jail up to 10 years to disrupt the electoral process.Meanwhile, the Junta is offering cash prizes to the rebels who agree to surrender and “return to the legal bottom”.
