Opposition says planned vote lacks credibility and fairness
Myanmar’s upcoming elections are being widely condemned as a sham designed to cement military control, with critics warning they lack transparency, fairness, or meaningful opposition participation.
Pro-democracy activists say the vote is an attempt to legitimize the junta’s power following the 2021 coup, while international observers highlight ongoing repression and violence that make free campaigning impossible.
The government insists the process will proceed despite global skepticism.
