flag Myanmar's 2026 elections called a sham by UN expert due to coercion, bans, and violence.

flag A UN human rights expert has denounced Myanmar’s recent elections as a "junta-orchestrated sham," citing widespread coercion, exclusion, and violence. flag The military-backed party claimed near-total victories, while the opposition National League for Democracy was banned and its leader detained. flag Thousands of townships were excluded, and civilians, students, and prisoners faced threats to vote. flag The UN and human rights monitors say the process lacks legitimacy, deepens repression, and violates international law. flag The election does not address ongoing conflict, displacement, or the Rohingya crisis, with real power lying beyond the ballot box.
