Legislative Elections of 2023 in Hakha

The Hakha legislative elections in 2023 will be the first mid-term elections in the history of the Kingdom of Hakha. They will be held on May 15, 2023, although they were originally scheduled to be held on January 1, 2024.

They will be the first legislative elections in the history of Hakha and the second in which a Prime Minister will be elected, as Prime Minister Kaung Kan Pyay resigned on 13 April 2023 due to the impossibility of forming a government 6 months after the adoption of the Constitution.

Background
In October 2022, the Hakha Constitution was approved after a referendum. It officially established parliamentary monarchy as the form of government in the Kingdom of Hakha, which is why the government of Kaung Kan Pyay, who ruled "by decree" with only 1/4 of the People's Assembly belonging to his party (Constitutional Front) should form a government with a parliamentary majority according to the rules established in the Constitution, however, this was ignored for 6 months until the Constitutional Court, established in the Constitution to regulate that everything that is done in the country is constitutionally legitimate, gave a deadline of one week to the Constitutional Front to form a government with a parliamentary majority, thing that despite making an alliance with the Liberal Front, the second largest parliamentary force, this was not achieved and only two days later Kaung Kan Pyay resigned, accusing the Constitutional Court of lawfare. As a result, the elections scheduled for 2024 were brought forward to 15 May and King Myint took power on an interim basis.
