Myanmar’s military annulled the results of last year’s general election that was won in a landslide by civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s party, saying it had misused its administrative power.
The move late Monday, five months after the junta seized power in a coup and jailed Suu Kyi and the former President Win Myint, follows the country’s military appointed election commission alleging on July 12 that nearly a third of all ballots in the poll were tainted.
