YANGON: The Union Election Commission (UEC) has announced that elections will not be held in 56 Pyithu Hluttaw (Upper House) constituencies, 9 Amyotha Hluttaw (Lower House) constituencies under the First-Past-The-Post (FPTP) system, and 56 Region or State Hluttaw constituencies under the FPTP system in the upcoming general election.
The multiparty democratic general election, scheduled to begin on December 28, 2025, will not include elections in these constituencies due to the absence of conditions necessary to hold a free and fair vote, according to UEC’s statement issued today (Sept 14) under Article 10 (8) of the UEC Law.
