CHIANG MAI, Thailand (Reuters) – Myanmar’s ruling junta has officially postponed an election promised by August this year after its 2021 coup, state television reported on Monday night.
Junta leader General Min Aung Hlaing, in a meeting on Monday with the army-backed National Defence and Security Council (NDSC), said “necessary security arrangements” are still needed to vote and hence extended a state of emergency for six more months.
