Won nearly 90% of contested seats, set to form government in April 2026
Myanmar's military junta completed its three-phase election on January 25, 2026, with the army-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party winning nearly 90% of contested seats—a predetermined outcome that fools no one. Combined with 166 military-reserved seats, the bloc controls just under 400 seats—well above the 294 needed to govern, with parliament convening in March and a new government taking office in April. ASEAN refused to recognize the results, the first time the regional bloc formally rejected a member's election, while the EU, UK, and UN condemned it as illegitimate.
