Myanmar's State Administrative Council Extends State of Emergency

On 2 February 2023, the State Administrative Council extended its nationwide state of emergency for another six months, until 1 August 2023. This occurs two years after the February 2021 military coup and effectively delays the general elections initially required to be held by August 2023 in accordance with the Constitution. The National Defense and Security Council, which consists of senior members of the military, agreed to prolong the state of emergency and stated that it will be working towards holding the elections in the following year.
