- Since the 2021 coup, Myanmar's military under Senior General Min Aung Hlaing controls parts of the country amid ongoing civil war and suppression of democracy.
- The junta revoked the state of emergency and installed a caretaker government to oversee managed elections slated for December 2025 and January 2026.
- UN investigations reveal systemic torture, abuse of children as young as two, and military airstrikes targeting civilian infrastructure like schools and hospitals.
- The poll is widely condemned as illegitimate internationally, with many ethnic-controlled areas refusing to participate due to ongoing conflict and repression.
The junta has sucked all the resources and money than can and the country has nothing left.— Mi Kun Chan Non, a women's activist discussing the dire situation in Myanmar.

- A state of emergency has applied since the February 1, 2021 coup; it was extended by six months on February 1, 2023.
