War-torn Myanmar to hold first general election since 2021 coup

Myanmar set to hold first general election since 2021 coup, amid widespread skepticism. Despite promises of a "free and fair" vote by junta leader Min Aung Hlaing, the legitimacy of the election is in doubt. With challenges such as ongoing civil war and opposition insurgency, the election faces logistical hurdles and is seen as a move to entrench the military's power, drawing criticism from human rights groups and the international community.
