Myanmar conducted the first round of elections after the 2021 military coup, under the supervision of the military junta, amid ongoing internal conflict and questions over democratic legitimacy.
Description:
Background:
The Tatmadaw, the armed forces of Myanmar, overthrew the democratically elected government led by Aung San Suu Kyi in a coup on 1 February 2021 and now governs through the State Administration Council (SAC).
India’s Strategic Stakes:
- Connectivity: India is closely monitoring the elections as stability is crucial for the Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport Project and the India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway.
- Border Security: Ongoing conflict near the 1,643 km border impacts states like Manipur and Mizoram, leading to refugee influxes and security concerns. Myanmar sharesborder with Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Mizoram, and Manipur.
- India suspended Free Movement Regime (16 kms) in 2024 and announced border fencing in sensitive stretches with a controlled entry system.
