Myanmar's military leader Min Aung Hlaing was elected president by parliament
Min Aung Hlaing, who led Myanmar's 2021 military coup, was elected president by the country's pro-military parliament on Friday, receiving 429 out of 584 votes. The election followed a military-organized vote in December and January that was criticized as illegitimate by opponents and Western governments. The transition formalizes his power as head of a nominally civilian government while civil war continues across the country.
