The head of the Information Team of the National Defense and Security Council, Major General Zaw Min Tun, stated that the National League for Democracy (NLD) government and the Union Election Commission (UEC) they appointed destroyed the multiparty democratic system, and that they (the NDSC) are systematically rebuilding it.
Major General Zaw Min Tun made this announcement, titled "Statement to the People Regarding the Multiparty Democratic General Election," on November 10, 2025.
He pointed out that there were 38 million eligible voters in the 2020 General Election, and when political parties and the military (Tatmadaw) jointly requested the NLD government to solve the 10.4 million cases of alleged voter fraud, the NLD failed to address it and instead attempted to convene the parliament and form a government on February 1, 2021.
He suggested that people can consider who made demands legally and lawfully, and who disregarded and ignored the law through these actions. Following this, Major General Zaw Min Tun said that the Tatmadaw (Myanmar Military) had to assume all state responsibilities.

He stated: "It is only the NLD government and the Union Election Commission they formed, who tried to seize state power by illegal means without solving the voter fraud lawfully, that intentionally destroyed the sincere and disciplined multiparty democratic system for the entire populace and the nation. We are systematically rebuilding this multiparty democratic system, which was destroyed and which the people desired and longed for."
Regarding the current political crisis, the Myanmar Military announced that the election will be held in three phases:
Phase 1: December 28, 2025, in 102 townships.
Phase 2: January 11, 2026, in 100 townships.
Phase 3: The last week of January 2026, two weeks after Phase 2.
The National Unity Government (NUG), formed by NLD leaders and elected representatives, the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH), ethnic armed organizations (EAOs), and the People's Defense Force (PDF) have all issued statements vowing to completely disrupt this election.
Similarly, they have issued warnings that those who participate in the election led by the Myanmar Military will face effective action, and that their safety cannot be guaranteed.
