If a post-election government emerged in Myanmar, there are questions about how it would stabilize the political instability that is taking place in the country.
The government that will emerge after the election will have three major responsibilities:
reconstruction after the earthquake that hit Myanmar, work to achieve internal peace, and building a new and developed country, Dr. Aye Maung, chairman of the Arakan Front Party (AFP), told CNI News.
Dr. Aye Maung, chairman of the Arakan Front Party (AFP), told CNI that the government that will emerge after the election will have three major responsibilities: reconstruction after the earthquake that hit Myanmar, work to achieve internal peace, and building a new and developed country.
These three responsibilities can only be carried out well if there is political stability. Therefore, the government that will come to power should not ignore what the previous governments did but rather work together to form a strong government, he said.

" A post-election government has a huge responsibility. The first thing is to establish political trust among ourselves, starting from ceasing iour civil war. Currently, we must fully implement the reconstruction sector for the damage caused by the Mandalay earthquake, and then we must implement the internal peace from which we must establish a new developed country. Since there are three such three major responsibilities, the government that will emerge after the election will have a great task. Everyone will define it the same way,
I think. So the only way to carry out these three major tasks is political stability. In order to do this, the next government will have a major task force that will be able to firmly connect the current SAC's 5-year term, the NLD's 5-year term and the USDP's 5-year term before that. The next government shouldn't completely abolish everything that was done in the past by previous governments. We must collectively form a strong government. That government must lead to stabilize the country." said Dr. Aye Maung.
The SAC Chairman Senior General Min Aung Hlaing has said that elections will be held in Myanmar between December 2025 and January 2026.
The post-election government must resolve the armed conflict, and it must also focus on international relations, as some powerful countries are also involved in Myanmar's internal affairs, People's Pioneer Party (PPP) General Secretary U Myo Set Thway told CNI News.

"The post-election government must resolve the armed conflict issues. So if we look at the sources of these conflicts, there are historical events, natural resource sharing issues, and political positions. In addition, it is important to be aware of the involvement of some powerful countries. Therefore, it will be very difficult to build a nation without addressing these issues, so we will have to pay close attention to international relations. If you really think about it, all the local armed groups cannot survive without receiving support from somewhere. Where does these supports come from? It's clear when you think about it. All of this is related to international affairs. Policies and political views can be adjusted at the table, but what cannot be adjusted are the supporting forces. These problems must be resolved diplomatically." he said.
The earthquake that struck Myanmar on March 28, 2025, killed more than 4,000 people and injured more than 5,000, damaging homes, schools, religious buildings, hospitals/clinics, and roads and bridges.
In addition, battles between the Myanmar military and ethnic armed groups/the People's Defense Forces (PDF) are ongoing across Myanmar, and the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) is increasing.
Therefore, military and political analysts point out that the post-election government must ensure political stability in order to carry out reconstruction efforts, internal peace, and resolve armed conflicts.
