The military who staged the coup promised to organize new elections in Myanmar. The newspaper Myanmar Times writes about it.
After that, power will be transferred to the new government. The elections should take place after the lifting of the state of emergency, which was introduced for a year. In addition, the military promised to deal with falsifications in the past parliamentary elections.
It is for this reason that the Myanmar military announced the introduction of a state of emergency in the country for a period of one year. Vice President Mint Sveh was appointed Interim President.
Prior to that, it became known about the arrest of Myanmar President Vin Myin and the head of the country's ruling National League for Democracy (NLD) party, Aung San Suu Kyi, who holds the post of state adviser and foreign minister. The NLD said the military was in the process of organizing a coup d'état. In the capital of the country, Naypyidaw, telephone and internet connections are unavailable. Soldiers have been spotted in large cities.
