Myanmar junta dissolves Suu Kyi's party and opposition ahead of elections.
TL;DR Summary
Myanmar's military government has dissolved the National League for Democracy (NLD) party of ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi and 39 other parties for failing to register for an election that will prolong the army's grip on power. The election is almost certain to be won by the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), a military proxy. The NLD and other parties were severely weakened by the military's 2021 coup and crackdown on protests. The election is dangerous for the country, as the majority of the population fiercely opposes going to the polls to legitimize the military's political control.
