Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy faces dissolution

Party refuses to comply with tough new registration law imposed by Myanmar’s military junta

Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy faces the prospect of dissolution after it refused to comply with a tough new party registration law imposed by Myanmar’s military junta.

The military, which seized power in a coup in February 2021, set Tuesday as a deadline for political parties to re-register under a restrictive new law. It has promised to hold an election, though such a vote has been widely dismissed as lacking in any credibility.
