Myanmar Pro-Military Party Wins Detained Suu Kyi's Former Seat in Junta-Run Election

Myanmar's pro-military Union Solidarity and Development Party has reportedly won the parliamentary seat previously held by detained democratic leader Aung San Suu Kyi in Kawhmu. The party official stated they secured 15 out of 16 lower house seats in the Yangon region during the second phase of a three-phase election. The vote proceeds amidst ongoing armed conflicts, with the junta asserting it will restore power to the people, while democracy advocates criticize the process due to Suu Kyi's detention and her party's dissolution.
