Now that Myanmar’s generals have ousted Aung San Suu Kyi, they must figure out how to beat her in an election.
Coup leader Min Aung Hlaing said Monday he would revamp the election commission and hold a “free and fair” vote once the state of emergency expires in a year. He justified the military takeover by alleging widespread fraud in a November election in which Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy won more than 80% of available seats.
The claims of a rigged election haven’t been backed up by any credible evidence. Myanmar’s election commission rejected allegations of fraud and international observers largely gave the vote a clean bill of health.

The military declared a one-year state of emergency hours after detaining several senior members of the National League for Democracy party including the country’s de facto leader, Aung San Suu Kyi. The military claimed its complaints of mass voter fraud in last year’s general elections had gone ignored.
