Junta Chief Sworn In As Myanmar President
Myanmar military coup leader Min Aung Hlaing was sworn in as president on April 10, 2026, continuing his rule from a civilian post five years after seizing power.
On April 10, 2026, Myanmar junta chief Min Aung Hlaing was formally sworn in as president in Naypyidaw, assuming a civilian title after five years of direct military rule following the 2021 coup. The move follows a contested election process that observers described as heavily skewed in favor of the junta and excluding the main opposition party and its leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The ceremony consolidates Min Aung Hlaing’s authority amid ongoing civil conflict between the military and multiple ethnic armed groups, which continues to destabilize large parts of the country.
