The Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), aligned with Myanmar's military, has reported a significant lead in the initial phase of the elections organized by the country's military rulers. This first round took place on Sun, Jan 7, 2024, with subsequent rounds scheduled for Thu, Jan 11, 2024, and Thu, Jan 25, 2024. Voting has been suspended in 65 townships.

The USDP claims to have secured 82 out of 102 seats in the lower house of the legislature in the completed townships, and all eight townships in Naypyidaw. Official results from Myanmar's Union Election Commission have not yet been released.

The United Nations human rights chief has condemned the elections due to concerns about a crackdown on dissent and the dominance of military-aligned candidates. The elections occurred in only about one-third of Myanmar's 330 townships, with many areas being inaccessible due to ongoing conflict between the military and opposition forces following the 2021 coup.

This first round took place on Sun, Jan 7, 2024, with subsequent rounds scheduled for Thu, Jan 11, 2024, and Thu, Jan 25, 2024.

The USDP is expected to become the largest party, often seen as a civilian proxy for the military. In the previous 2020 elections, the USDP suffered a significant defeat to Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD), which is among 40 political parties banned by the military government. Suu Kyi remains detained since the military coup.

The military government’s leader, Min Aung Hlaing, has stated that the armed forces can be trusted to transition power back to a civilian-led government. Since the coup, the military has faced widespread civil war, with pro-democracy activists and ethnic minority forces actively opposing the central government.

As a result of the ongoing conflict, approximately 90,000 individuals have died, 3.5 million have been displaced, and 22 million are in need of humanitarian aid. Over 22,000 people are currently imprisoned for political offenses, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners.
