Critics call 1st Myanmar election since military coup a sham

Season 2026 Episode 10 | 9m 29s

The second phase of elections is underway in Myanmar this weekend. It’s the first election since the ruling military regime seized power five years ago, but with major opposition parties barred from participating, leaders jailed and an ongoing civil war keeping many from voting, the process is being widely criticized as a sham. Special correspondent Kira Kay reports.
