Myanmar's Military Consolidates Power Amidst Controlled Elections
Min Aung Hlaing, the military leader of Myanmar, has further entrenched his authority through tightly regulated elections, effectively sidelining the civilian government.
Since the military takeover in February 2021, Min Aung Hlaing has been consolidating power in Myanmar. The military's grip on governance has intensified over the past five years.
Elections conducted during this period have been characterized by strict controls, limiting genuine democratic processes and sidelining the previously elected civilian government.
As a result, the military's influence in Myanmar's political landscape has grown significantly, raising concerns about the future of democracy in the country.
