The newly elected parliament in Myanmar will convene for its first session next month, the country's state-run media reported on Tuesday after an election that critics said was neither free nor fair.
The March 16 session will also be the first parliament meeting in more than five years since the military in 2021 seized power, taking over from the elected government led by Aung San Suu Kyi. The takeover plunged Myanmar into widespread unrest and armed resistance that has since evolved into civil war.
