Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) has been dissolved after it refused to comply with a tough new party registration law imposed by Myanmar’s military, according to junta-controlled media.
The military, which seized power in a coup in February 2021, set Tuesday as a deadline for political parties to re-register under the restrictive new law. It has promised to hold an election, though such a vote has been widely dismissed as lacking in any credibility.
