Elected MPs challenge Myanmar junta, appoint four ministers 2 minutes read
Yangon, Myanmar, March 3 (efe-epa).- Elected parliamentarians who do not recognize Myanmar’s military junta have challenged the military and appointed several ministers, including a foreign minister.
The appointments were made Tuesday by the parliamentary committee, which groups part of the parliamentarians elected in November and could not formally assume their seats due to the Feb. 1 military coup.
The army stopped the majority of the elected government, including deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint, on the morning of the coup, canceling the parliamentary inauguration scheduled for the same day.
