Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, Chairman of the State Security and Peace Commission, said that successfully holding the election is a matter of national dignity and that all stakeholders must work together to ensure the election is successfully conducted in all areas where it will be held.
He made the remarks on December 11, 2025, during a meeting with members of the Yangon Region Government and departmental officials at the regional and district levels.
Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said, “The successful holding of the election is a matter of national dignity. Therefore, everyone must work together to ensure that the election is successfully conducted in all areas where it will take place. Arrangements are being made to allow voting through Myanmar Electronic Voting Machines (MEVMs), which cannot be used for electoral fraud.”
He added that under the democratic system and in accordance with the 2008 Constitution, elections are an unavoidable task that must be successfully carried out. Therefore, responsible officials from the Yangon Region Government must also cooperate to ensure the successful holding of the election.

Senior General Min Aung Hlaing further stated, “Since we are a government that assumed responsibility due to inaccuracies in voter lists during previous elections, the election we organize must not have errors in voter lists. Although it may not be possible to achieve 100 percent accuracy, we must strive to make them as accurate as possible. Efforts must be made to ensure that those listed do not lose their right to vote. Whether or not to cast a vote is the voter’s choice, but enabling voters to be able to vote is the responsibility of the government.”
In Myanmar, Phase (1) of the election will be held on December 28, 2025. Phase (2) will be held on January 11, 2026, and Phase (3) will be held in the last week of January.After that, state power will be transferred to the political party that wins the election, and the Tatmadaw will focus solely on national defense, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said.
On the other hand, some armed groups, the NUG, and Spring Revolution forces have announced that they will sabotage the election at all costs and have also stated that they will take effective action against those who participate in the election.
