After two years of another military coup, Myanmar is bracing to hold elections, again! The military junta is looking at the exercise as a means to add a veneer of legitimacy to its rule by force. But the embattled country is on the verge of implosion, with several militias comprising civilians fighting the military tooth and nail and even capturing parts of the country.

What is the military junta hoping to achieve through these elections?
