The coup regime sets a date for the upcoming election for part 1 in the war-torn Myanmar 18 August 2025 Myanmar's junta regime has announced a controversial plan to hold an election for Part 1, slated for December 28, 2025, despite the dire and ongoing conflict ravaging the country. This move is unprecedented; citizens have never witnessed Part 1 and Part 2 elections conducted in a genuinely democratic fashion. Furthermore, last month, the junta imposed military martial law in specific regions throughout the nation, with a particular focus on areas dominated by ethnic armed groups and resistance forces opposed to the regime. Now, the junta has unleashed a brutal bombing campaign from Kayah state to Kachin state, aiming to forcibly "liberate" these territories from the grip of opposition groups. The regime's strategy appears to be designed to facilitate a heavily biased electoral process, undermining genuine democratic values and the legitimate voices of the populace.
