⚠ PARTIALLY TRUE (67% confianza)
Myanmar's ruling military has taken full control.
β†’ UNVERIFIABLE β€” No relevant sources discuss the topic or confirm the claim in English.
The opposition parties were shut out of Parliament following an election that did not include them.
β†’ FALSE β€” The claim states that the opposition parties were shut out of Parliament following an election that did not include them. However, sources indicate that in the US, political parties do organize elections and nominate candidates (source [2]), and there is no evidence to suggest that opposition parties are excluded from participating in elections or Parliament. In fact, source [3] mentions that the Negro was shut out from a share in primary elections, not in obedience to the will of the party speaking through the party machinery, implying that exclusion from elections can occur due to other reasons, such as discriminatory practices.
It has been over five years since Myanmar's parliamentary session last met.
β†’ TRUE β€” Multiple reliable sources from established media (Reuters, Seattle Times, WHAS11, Independent) report that Myanmar's parliament met for the first time in over five years following an election without major opposition.
