    Min Aung Hlaing Inaugurated Myanmar President

    The Man Trying to Become Myanmar’s Dictator

    A new law may enable Senior General Min Aung Hlaing to retain full control over the Myanmar military while becoming president - five years after he led a military coup ousting Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) government. The 2008 Constitution outlines two separate roles for president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. It was even written by the military to ensure it keeps control over the levers of power in government. But this didn't stop Min Aung Hlaing from overthrowing the NLD administration, which governed during Myanmar's touted "transition to democracy" from 2016-2021, and appointing himself to every leadership role in the military regime. He is now widely expected to be appointed Myanmar's president after military-run elections, called a "sham" by the U.N. and several countries, were completed on Jan. 25 with the military-proxy Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) to become the next administration in Naypyidaw.
