YANGON – Myanmar’s Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) has achieved a decisive parliamentary majority following the nation’s meticulously organized general election, according to official results published by the Union Election Commission (UEC) on Thursday.
The comprehensive electoral process, conducted across three distinct phases between December 2025 and January 2026, culminated in the USDP securing 339 parliamentary seats. The party obtained 231 seats in the Pyithu Hluttaw (Lower House) and 108 seats in the Amyotha Hluttaw (Upper House), representing a commanding position within the 664-seat Union Parliament structure.
Electoral authorities reported that 420 contested seats were available nationwide during this democratic exercise. The election administration demonstrated considerable logistical complexity, with voting occurring in 263 townships across the designated phases: December 28, 2025 (102 townships), January 11, 2026 (100 townships), and January 25, 2026 (61 townships).
The parliamentary framework consists of a bicameral system with the 440-seat Lower House and 224-seat Upper House forming the complete legislative body. This electoral outcome positions the USDP with significant influence over Myanmar’s legislative agenda and policy direction for the forthcoming parliamentary session.
