Myanmar's ruling junta has officially postponed an election promised by August this year after its 2021 coup, state television reported on Monday night.
Junta leader General Min Aung Hlaing, in a meeting on Monday with the army-backed National Defence and Security Council , extended a state of emergency by six more months.
"While holding an election, in order to have an election that is free and fair and also to be able to vote without any fear, necessary security arrangements are still needed and so the period for the state of emergency is required to extend," read the junta statement on state TV.
