Political parties must make necessary preparations for the election, said Chairman of the State Administration Council (SAC), Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing. He said the above at the Work Coordination Meeting of the Union Government that was held on 3rd February 2025.

The SAC would make efforts to ensure broad participation of representatives of all social classes in the Hluttaws that emerged after the general election, said Chairman of the SAC.
 
" Political parties must make necessary preparations, and security and stability would be needed so that election campaigns could be conducted," said Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing.

He did not say exactly what necessary preparations meant what issues. The government must systematically calculate the issues that need to be prepared in advance to successfully hold the election and act in accordance with the laws; State and Region chief ministers and officials needed to study the laws related to elections in detail; and political parties must have made necessary preparations, he said.

Elections for the three Hluttaw - Pyithu Hluttaw, Amyotha Hluttaw and Region/State Hluttaw must be conducted in accordance with the law, said Chairman of the SAC.

A general election would be held in 2025 and the State power would be handed over to the winning party, said Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing. However, battles are breaking out between the Myanmar Tatmadaw and armed elements across the country and the rule of law is weak in the cities and stability is deteriorating.
