Myanmar junta announces formation of new union government
Myanmar’s National Defence and Security Council on Thursday announced the formation of a new union government, the State Security and Peace Commission, according to the state-owned Myanmar Radio and Television.
The union government is led by U Nyo Saw as prime minister, and the State Security and Peace Commission is chaired by Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, the report said.
According to the report, the NDSC also decided to annul the order transferring the sovereign power to the commander-in-chief of the Defence Services.
Zaw Min Tun, a spokesperson of Myanmar’s State Administration Council, said the NDSC had decided to end the state of emergency to hold general elections.
In February 2021, Myanmar’s then-acting President U Myint Swe declared a one-year state of emergency and transferred sovereign power to the commander-in-chief of the Defence Services.
The office of the commander-in-chief subsequently formed the State Administration Council, with Min Aung Hlaing as its chairman.
The NDSC has made multiple six-month extensions until July 31 this year.
