seats in their states: 7 seats by SNDP, 5 seats by the PaO National Organization (PNO), 5 seats by the Mon Unity Party (MUP), 4 seats by the Naga National Party,
6 seats in total by 6 other parties, and 1 independent candidate.
In the Amyotha Hluttaw, the junta-proxy USDP seized 108 out of 157 seats. Combined with the 56
“constitutional quota” military seats, the junta now controls 164 of 213 seats, which is 77.00% of all seats
(sham election + military quota) in Amyotha Hluttaw.
Thanks to the Proportional Representation system (PR system) imposed by the junta, another junta proxy,
NUP, was also granted 17 seats, while PP occupied 6 seats. The ethnic parties won spare seats in their
states: 5 seats by MUP, 3 seats each by Arakan Front Party (AFP), Kayin National Democratic Party
(KNDP), and Zomi National Party (ZNP), 2 seats by PNO, and 1 seat each by 11 ethnic parties.
Parties that billed themselves as “pro-democracy,” such as Ko Ko Gyi’s PP and Thet Thet Khine’s PPP,
hoped to benefit from the vacuum caused by the NLD and SNLD’s exclusion. However, they gained no
seats in Pyithu Hluttaw. However, in Amyotha
Hluttaw, PP was granted 6 seats from the PR system,
despite not winning in any of the First-Past-The-Post
(FPTP) constituencies.

Worsening Conflict
●
Conflict continued to increase unabated in the
lead-up to, and during, the sham polls.
●
The regime increased airstrikes, from 91 in
2021 to 2,898 in 2025, to reach civilian targets
in resistance-controlled territory.
●
Since 2021, 62,596 armed clashes and attacks
on civilians have killed almost 17,000 civilians
in 327 townships (99% of Burma’s territory).
The conflict in Burma is still increasing after the
attempted coup amid the junta’s sham election.
ACLED conflict figures clearly show that armed
clashes and attacks against civilians continue to
increase.
