Myanmar's military-controlled lower house of parliament convened on April 13, 2026, for the first time in five years, followed by the upper chamber on April 15 and 17. The sessions, following sham elections, occurred as the Tatmadaw continues its nationwide campaign against resistance forces. Monitors report that during the election period, over 400 air attacks were conducted by the military, causing significant civilian casualties and destruction of health facilities, churches, and mosques across the country.
