๐๐ 1. NUG's Position on the Illegitimate Sham Election
July 3
Radio NUG
On July 3, the National Unity Government (NUG) issued a statement clarifying its position that the illegitimate military junta—currently attempting to seize state power unlawfully—has no authority or legitimacy to organize any election.
The NUG emphasized that the results of the 2020 general election remain politically valid. The legislative and administrative bodies that emerged from that election continue to stand firmly as legitimate entities. Any attempt to organize a sham election that contravenes the will of the people constitutes not only a breach of democratic process but also a blatant attempt to usurp the sovereign power of the people.
This stance was highlighted in Message to the People and the International Community No. 13/2025, which firmly condemns the junta's actions.
The NUG further noted that, since the Committee Representing the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) officially abolished the 2008 Constitution on March 30, 2021, any action taken by the military regime under that now-defunct Constitution is entirely devoid of legal standing and legitimacy.
The NUG made it clear that the military junta's upcoming sham election is not a viable solution to the country’s ongoing crisis. Revolutionary forces will continue to adhere to the Federal Democratic Charter and the established political roadmap, reaffirming their unwavering commitment to the Federal Democracy cause.
The NUG urged the entire public not to participate in or cooperate with the military’s illegitimate electoral process, but instead to collectively and firmly oppose it.

- 31,656 childbirth services, including
- 12,359 caesarean sections.
In addition, outpatient care was provided to 2,416,508 individuals, and 99,823 surgical patients were treated. A total of 9,241 patients were transferred to other facilities for advanced care.
School health programs were also conducted for 193,017 students across 1,811 schools in various field areas.
The Ministry noted that only about one-third of ground-level health facilities were able to report their data, meaning the actual number of beneficiaries receiving care is likely up to three times higher than currently documented.

๐๐ 3. 313 Elephants from 12 Townships Participate in the Spring Revolution; NUG Ministry Supports Within Its Capacity
July 3
Radio NUG
As of July 3, a total of 313 elephants from 12 townships are actively participating in the Spring Revolution. Union Minister Dr. Tu Khawng from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation stated that the Ministry has been providing support as much as possible from its monthly operating budget.
He elaborated:
“Caring for elephants isn't just a matter of sentiment. Elephants must endure constant harassment from flies, mosquitoes, and insects. In deep forests where the wildest animals roam freely, they must brave harsh weather and survive in tough conditions. Currently, 313 elephants from 12 townships are involved in the revolution. In addition to the Ministry's limited support, international elephant lovers have also contributed through the 'Little Comrades of the Resistance' campaign. Some elephants have even lost limbs after stepping on landmines.”
