Myanmar’s military leader said the election would be in 2 years

Naypyitaw (Myanmar): Six months after seizing power from the elected government, Myanmar’s military leader on Sunday repeated his promise to hold new elections in two years and cooperate with Southeast Asian countries about finding political solutions for his country.
“We must create conditions to hold multiparty elections that are free and fair,” said Senior Aung Hlaing General during the recorded television address.
“We have to make preparations.
I promised to hold multiparty elections without fail.” Military authorities will “achieve the provisions of the Emergency State in August 2023,” he said.
The emergency was stated when the troops moved against the elected government Aung San Suu Kyi on February 1, an action that the generals said were permitted under the 2008 military constitution.

The military government officially canceled the election results on Tuesday and appointed a new election commission to take over the poll.
The military takeover met with massive public protests which resulted in lethal acts of lethal security forces which routinely fired ammunition to live in the crowds.
On Sunday, 939 people have been killed by the authorities since February 1, according to the calculation stored by an independent assistance association for political prisoners.

“But for various reasons, the new proposal was released and we could not continue to move forward.
I want to say that Myanmar is ready to work on ASEAN cooperation in the ASEAN framework, including dialogue with ASEAN special envoys in Myanmar, ” he said.
Foreign Minister of ASEAN is expected to discuss Myanmar in this week’s virtual meeting organized by Brunei, currently from the 10-nation block.
