Provisional Government of Myanmar
Current cabinet of Myanmar From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Provisional Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar[1] (Burmese: ပြည်ထောင်စုသမ္မတမြန်မာနိုင်ငံတော် အာဏာသိမ်းခေါင်းဆောင်[2]), is the provisional government of Myanmar under the current military junta, the State Administration Council. On 1 August 2021, it replaced the Management Committee of the State Administration Council, which had been in place since 19 February 2021, following the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état.[2][3][4] Some ministers were appointed by Min Aung Hlaing immediately following the coup on 1 February, in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services exercising emergency powers.[5]

Background
Summarize
Perspective
The 2021 coup came in the aftermath of the general election on 8 November 2020, in which the National League for Democracy won 396 out of 476 seats in parliament, an even larger margin of victory compared to that in the 2015 election. The military's proxy party, the Union Solidarity and Development Party, won only 33 seats.
The army disputed the results, claiming that the vote was fraudulent. The coup attempt had been rumored for several days, prompting statements of concern from Western powers such as France, the United States, and Australia.[12]
On the morning of 1 February 2021, President Win Myint, State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, as well as several Union Ministers, State and Region Chief Ministers, State and Region Ministers, and elected MPs, were detained by the military.[13] Since then, the State Administration Council has governed the country.[9] The military deposed the elected civilian government and General Min Aung Hlaing, the commander-in-chief of Defence Services, announced the formation of a caretaker government with himself as prime minister and extended military rule through 2023, state media reported on 1 August 2021.[10][8]
This caretaker government is the second in Burmese history since independence.[10]
