Min Aung Hlaing, leader of Myanmar's military government, claimed that 54.22% of Myanmar citizens voted in the election, a rate higher than many democracies. However, analysts pointed out the figures are unreliable after voting was canceled in several areas.
On 11 February 2026, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, leader of Myanmar's military government, asserted that the three-phase general election held under military rule was successful, with a turnout as high as 54.22%. He noted this rate surpasses that of many democratic nations and stated that at least 50 countries have turnout rates below 54%, including France, Japan, and others.
The Myanmar election was conducted in three phases on 28 December 2025 and 11 and 25 January 2026, covering 263 townships nationwide. The military leader said 13.14 million people voted out of over 24 million eligible voters.
However, election analysts expressed skepticism about the figures, noting they are likely unreliable because voting was canceled in many areas due to security issues, reducing the number of eligible voters and artificially inflating the turnout percentage.
Official results show the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), backed by the military, secured 739 of 1,025 seats, or 72.09%. Under the 2008 constitution, the military is allocated 25% of seats. Recently, 166 military representatives were appointed, and combined with 420 elected MPs, the military will hold about 28% of the new parliament.
