YANGON (Bloomberg): Myanmar’s junta chief Min Aung Hlaing (pic) said there are plans to hold a fresh general election on August 2023, sticking to the military government’s timeline and defying pressure from the US to hold polls earlier.
"Depending on state stability and peace, we are making our utmost effort to hold a multi-party general election on August 2023,” the junta chief said during a meeting with heads and teachers at military universities in Yangon that was broadcast on state-run MRTV.
