Presidential Election Set for Early April to Form New Government




State Security and Peace Commission Vice-Chairman, Defence Services Deputy Commander-in-Chief, and Commander-in-Chief (Army) Vice-Senior General Soe Win, together with his wife Daw Than Than Nwe, senior Tatmadaw officers from the Office of the Commander-in-Chief and the commander of the Eastern Command, held separate meetings with Tatmadaw members and families at local battalions in Nawngwoe, Kengkham and Mongping stations yesterday.

Commanding officers of local battalions reported to the Vice-Senior General on security measures and four military building tasks. The Vice-Senior General fulfilled their needs.

At the meetings, the Vice-Senior General said that since assuming State responsibilities, the government has set objectives and implemented them accordingly, and upon completion of the election processes, an election will be held, and State responsibilities will be handed over to the party that wins.

Arrangements are being made to convene the First Regular Session of the Third Pyithu Hluttaw on 16 March and the First Regular Session of the Third Amyotha Hluttaw on 18 March. The presidential election will be held in early April to form a new government, and State responsibilities will be transferred back accordingly.

Tatmadaw must continue to carry out its duties related to national security and defence, regardless of changes in political governments. As it is responsible for safeguarding the State, it is necessary to strive to build a capable and strong Tatmadaw.

Tatmadaw, in cooperation with members of the Myanmar Police Force and members of the public who desire stability and peace, has been taking action against terrorist groups, including PDF, CRPH and NUG, in accordance with the law.

Similarly, despite various challenges, the country has successfully overcome natural disasters and other difficulties, including Cyclone Mocha that caused damage in Rakhine State in 2023, flooding in central Myanmar in 2024, and the powerful Mandalay earthquake that struck on 28 March 2025.

Out of more than 24 million eligible voters nationwide, over 13.14 million cast their votes in the 2025 multiparty democratic general election in phases in 263 townships, resulting in a voter turnout of 54.22 per cent. The election was successfully held as a free and fair election, conducted with dignity and without voter fraud or errors in the voter lists.

It was carried out by applying both the FPTP and PR systems to enable small parties and ethnic representatives to participate in the parliamentary political arena. As a result of these measures, there is greater participation by representatives from ethnic parties and small parties in the current election.

As Tatmadaw members undertake difficult, arduous, and demanding responsibilities due to the nature of their duties, they must always maintain both physical and mental fitness.

As they recite the Four Oaths daily, they must remain faithful and true to those Four Oaths, upholding loyalty to their country, to their fellow citizens, and to their fellow servicemen.

He fulfilled the needs of Tatmadaw members and their families in coordination with officials. After the meetings, the Vice-Senior General presented foodstuffs provided by the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services and eggs by the military command and cash awards to Tatmadaw members and families from relevant military stations.

Daw Than Than Nwe, the wife of the Vice-Senior General, also presented foodstuffs and cash assistance for the maternal and child welfare association through officials. The Vice-Senior General and party cordially greeted Tatmadaw members and families of relevant military stations.
