The Myanmar's junta on Monday canceled the results of 2020 polls won by Aung San Suu Kyi's party, a move that comes almost six months after the military coup on February 1. The party announcing they were not "free and fair" almost six months after deposing the Nobel laureate in a coup. The announcement of the cancellation was made by the Union Election Commission on Monday, reports by Xinhua.

Investigations had revealed more than 11 million cases of fraud in the elections in which Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy trounced the military-aligned opposition, the junta's election commission said. "The NLD attempted to take state power from non-NLD parties and candidates by misusing Covid-19 restrictions," said commission chairman Thein Soe.It did not however mention when will the next elections take place.

The military alleged that there was voting fraud in elections, which was the reason behind the coup. After Suu Kyi was removed from power, a state of emergency was declared in Myanmar and the state power was transferred to the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Sen-Gen Min Aung Hlaing. The Union Election Commission was reformed to take steps to review the process of the elections in early February. Suu Kyi has been under house arrest since the coup on February 1 - as she was for years under the previous military dictatorship.
