Myanmar's military says to hold new elections after end of emergency


The Myanmar military said on Monday that new elections will be held after the end of a one-year state of emergency, and it will return the state power to the new government.

The President's Office declared the state of emergency after State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, President U Win Myint and other senior officials were detained by the military.

The state power will be handed over to Commander-in-Chief of Defense Services Min Aung Hlaing, the military-owned Myawaddy TV said in a statement.
