KUALA LUMPUR/YANGON (Reuters): The European Union's Special Representative for Human Rights Kajsa Ollongren said on Thursday that the grouping had no plans to send observers to an election in military-ruled Myanmar, as it was unlikely to result in a credible outcome.
Critics - including many Western nations - have described the election due to start in late December as a sham exercise aimed at legitimising the Myanmar junta's rule after it overthrew a civilian democratic government in 2021.
