From the election towards the Hluttaw

MYANMAR is practising a genuine and disciplined multiparty democratic system, in which a multiparty general election is a fundamental pillar. Such an election must be conducted in a manner that is free, fair, and dignified. It must be free from electoral fraud and unlawful acts.

The multiparty democratic general election, which began on 28 December 2025 in Myanmar, was successful and dignified. The people who cast their votes during the election phases genuinely accepted and desired the multiparty democratic system, and they voted peacefully, systematically, and in an orderly manner in keeping with the dignity of the nation and as responsible citizens. This is a matter of pride for the State.

The Union Election Commission, in order to successfully hold the multiparty democratic general election, designated townships where the election could and could not be conducted, compiled voter lists in successive stages, organized and conducted the election successfully in phases, and announced the voting results and the lists of elected representatives.

In carrying out the election in phases, Myanmar’s electronic voting machines were relocated promptly to designated locations for each phase and were systematically reinstalled and used. As the election was conducted impartially and in an orderly manner, the fact that no political parties have lodged objections regarding the election up to the present time also reflects its dignity and credibility.

In holding the election, the State Government took steps to ensure the participation of political parties. To enable small parties and ethnic representatives to take part in the political platform of the Hluttaw, the Proportional Representation (PR) system was adopted. This arrangement allowed representatives from all regions and ethnic political parties to participate in the Hluttaw and to advocate for the interests of their respective regions and the aspirations of their people. As a result, in this election, there was increased participation of representatives from ethnic parties and smaller political parties. Political parties that maintained extensive engagement with the public and were able to effectively organize and mobilize their members received the support of the people. Political parties can draw the lesson that they must make systematic preparations well in advance of the election period. They need to publicize their party policies and rules so that the people are well informed and carry out their organizational activities accordingly to be able to enter the Hluttaw through thorough preparations for forthcoming elections in the future.
