Myanmar's military-backed party wins election amid civil war and bans

Myanmar's military-backed party is poised for a landslide victory in elections widely deemed illegitimate due to widespread bans and ongoing civil war. The elections, characterized by fear and intimidation, excluded many popular parties and voting was impossible in half the country, while the junta dismisses international criticism. The expected outcome will likely see the coup leader Gen Min Aung Hlaing become president, potentially leading to internal military power shifts and a distant possibility of peace talks.
