Yangon Political parties say they want Myanmar’s military not to hold a new election but to accept the result of the 2020 general election.
After seizing power in a coup on Monday on the pretext of electoral fraud in the November election that brought a landslide victory to the National League for Democracy (NLD), the Tatmadaw (military) declared a state of emergency for a year followed by a new election with the military handing power to the winner.
