MYANMAR’S junta-stacked election commission yesterday announced Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) party would be dissolved for failing to re-register under a tough new military-drafted electoral law, state media said.
The military justified its February 2021 coup with unsubstantiated claims of widespread fraud in 2020 elections won by the NLD, ending a 10-year democratic experiment and plunging the country into turmoil.
