For Myanmar’s upcoming elections, instead of allowing only the winning party to form a government, it would be better to assemble a Government of National Unity composed of outstanding individuals from various parties, political analyst U Htet Aung Kyaw told CNI News.
In Myanmar, the first phase of the election will be held on December 28, 2025 covering 102 townships.
The second phase will be conducted on January 11, 2026, in 100 townships, and the third phase will be held in the last week of January.
U Htet Aung Kyaw said that rather than the winning party forming a government alone, it would be more beneficial if the victorious party created a system resembling a national unity government by bringing together capable individuals from various parties.
“It depends on how well they can mobilize the public to vote. If they can motivate the public and votes come in large numbers, opposition parties also have a chance to win. Depending on that, we can see how far things can improve. One thing is certain — under the current circumstances, the country needs change. Instead of a single winning party forming the government alone, if they gather talented people from each party and form a unity government with a spirit of jointly solving the country’s problems, that would be better.”, he said.
Some political party leaders seen
As Myanmar prepares for the election, analysts point out that the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) currently holds certain advantages based on the political environment and legal framework, and that the new government could potentially be formed under the leadership of the USDP and the Myanmar military.
Therefore, analysts suggest that whichever party wins the election should consider forming a Government of National Unity in order to overcome the country’s political crisis, armed conflicts, and international sanctions.
Sai Htay Aung, Chairman of the Tai Leng (Shanni) Nationalities Development Party (TNDP), told CNI News that more parliamentary candidates who can amplify the people’s voice need to enter parliament(Hluttaw).

“Compared to now, I think things will greatly improve. Why? Because international election observers have been invited. They will monitor whether the voting process is free and fair. After the election, a government that upholds the people’s voice is possible. When parliament is formed, we will be able to hear the voices of the people. For the past five years, people’s voices have disappeared. When parliament reconvenes, those voices will return. With public support, if we can speak out more in parliament, the country will gradually stabilize. To ensure that the people’s voices are heard, more candidates who truly represent the people must enter parliament. Only then will the true voices of the public be heard. We need to think carefully about who can effectively speak for the people and overcome the challenges.”, he said.
Political analysts advise that citizens should carefully examine the political parties and candidates contesting the election, choosing those who will genuinely work for the benefit of the public and the nation.
