Myanmar went to the polls on 28 December, the first round of the military junta’s contentious three-phase election, and the first vote since the 2021 coup. Two more rounds of voting are set for 11 and 25 January 2026.

Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris speaks with Debbie Stothard, an Aliran member and founder of the democracy advocacy group, Alternative Asean Network on Burma, and Dr Moe Thuzar, a senior fellow and coordinator of the Myanmar studies programme and the Iseas-Yusof Ishak Institute.
