NAYPYITAW, Myanmar (AP) Myanmar military television said Monday that the military was taking control of the country for one year, while reports said many of the country’s senior politicians including Aung San Suu Kyi had been detained.
An announcement read on military-owned Myawaddy TV cited a section of the military-drafted constitution that allows the military to take control in times of national emergency. It said the reason for takeover was in part due to the government’s failure to act on the military’s claims of voter fraud in last November’s election and its failure to postpone the election because of the coronavirus crisis.
MYANMAR’S military has overthrown civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi and her governing party in a coup. Power has been transferred to an army chief, with a one-year state of emergency has been declared, according to military TV. Suu Kyi s political party is urging Myanmar s people to oppose an apparent coup and any return to military dictatorship . The National League for Democracy released a statement on the Facebook page of its party head, Suu Kyi, saying the military s actions were unjustified and went against the constitution and the will of voters. Myanmar s military has announced it will hold a new election at the end of a one-year state of emergency after it seized control and reportedly detained Suu Kyi.
