Myanmar’s junta chief expected to hand over top military post to long-time protege
Myanmar's junta chief is expected to transfer his top military position to a long-time protege, a move analysts say is aimed at formalizing a military-controlled political system rather than signaling genuine democratic transition. The handover is seen as a restructuring of military authority rather than a liberalization of governance. Observers remain skeptical about any meaningful change in Myanmar's political trajectory.
