💨 Abstract

On July 31, 2025, Myanmar's military announced it will end a 4 1/2 year state of emergency and hold elections by the end of the year. The military regime plans to restructure administrative bodies, with Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing retaining significant influence. The elections face severe challenges, including an ongoing civil war and opposition claims that the polls won't be free or fair.
