Myanmar Forms New Interim-Union Government and U Nyo Saw Appointed PM and State of Emergency Officially Ends.
Appointment
In July 2025, Myanmar's National Defence and Security Council (NDSC) officially announced the formation of a new Interim-Union Government, along with a National Security and Peace Commission, to manage defence and oversee preparations for general elections scheduled for later in the year.
- U Nyo Saw has been appointed as the 13th Prime Minister of Myanmar and will lead the newly formed Interim-Union Government. His appointment marks a significant political transition in Myanmar’s post-coup administration structure, aiming to restore constitutional processes.
- As per the military junta, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing will head the National Security and Peace Commission. He will continue to serve as the Acting President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Myanmar, retaining de facto control over key security and military functions.
Main Point :- (i) The National Defence and Security Council (NDSC), which was originally constituted in February 2021 following the military coup, has now expanded its role to include electoral management and peace oversight. This move comes amid international scrutiny over democratic restoration.
(ii) Following the announcement, Myanmar’s military government officially ended the state of emergency that had been imposed for over four years. This emergency was first declared in February 2021 after the military ousted the elected government led by the National League for Democracy (NLD) under Aung San Suu Kyi.
(iii) Additionally, the NDSC has revoked the 2021 order that transferred sovereign powers to the Commander-in-Chief and has dissolved itself, signaling a rollback of extended military control and the beginning of preparations for civilian elections by December 2025.
