Myanmar’s junta said Monday (August 18, 2025) 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.
Myanmar has been consumed by conflict since the military deposed the government of democratic leader Aung San Suu Kyi in 2021, making unsubstantiated allegations of electoral fraud.
