Myanmar's parliament has elected
military chief Minon Lang as the country's new president.
He's the general who ousted Angang Suchi's civilian government in 2021 and has maintained tight control of the country for the past 5 years.
Suchi is serving a 27-year prison term on charges widely viewed as politically motivated.
The election was organized by the military.
It's been deemed neither free nor fair by opponents and independent observers.
Minon Lang's election marks a nominal return to an elected government, but is widely considered to be an effort to keep the army in power.
He was one of three nominees for the president's post, but was virtually guaranteed the job as lawmakers from militarybacked parties and appointed members from the army hold a commanding majority in parliament.
Major opposition parties were either blocked from running for parliament during elections in December and January or refused to compete under conditions they considered unfair.
