The Burmese army carried out a coup and arrested Myanmar’s leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who is the de facto prime minister, declaring a state of emergency and appointing generals to key posts.

The army said in a statement on the military TV channel that this step is necessary to preserve the "stability" of the state, and pledged to organize "free and fair" elections as soon as the state of emergency is lifted.

The military accuses the electoral commission of failing to address the "massive irregularities" that, he said, occurred during the legislative elections in November, which Aung San Suu Kyi won by an overwhelming majority.
