Myanmar's military-supported Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) has achieved a decisive victory in the country's latest general election, as reported by state media. The election process, which occurred in three phases, concluded on Thu, Jan 25, 2026, amidst ongoing internal conflict and governmental restrictions.

The USDP secured a substantial majority, winning 232 out of 263 seats in the lower house and 109 out of 157 seats announced so far in the upper chamber. Parliamentary sessions are expected to commence in March, with a new government anticipated to assume office in April, according to military spokesperson Zaw Min Tun.

Since the military coup in 2021, Myanmar has experienced significant political instability, leading to widespread protests and subsequent unrest. The United Nations reports that these events have resulted in thousands of deaths and the displacement of approximately 3.6 million individuals.

The election outcome has been met with international scrutiny. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has not endorsed the electoral process, citing concerns about its integrity. Human rights organizations and certain Western countries have also questioned the fairness of the elections.

The United Nations Human Rights Office highlighted that large segments of the population, including the Rohingya ethnic minority, were excluded from participating in the elections due to citizenship denial and displacement. During the election period, at least 170 civilians were reportedly killed in air strikes, and approximately 400 individuals were detained.

Despite these issues, Myanmar's military authorities maintain that the elections were conducted fairly and reflected public support. The country's political framework guarantees the military 25% of parliamentary seats, ensuring its influence remains substantial, even with potential transitions to a civilian-led administration.
