Myanmar's president in health crisis

Myanmar's nominal president, Myint Swe, is facing serious health challenges, suffering from neurological disorders and malnutrition, which could pose a constitutional issue for the junta that relies on him for legitimacy. As the military struggles to govern amidst armed resistance and economic turmoil, the state of emergency, continuously extended, is approaching expiration on July 31. Myint Swe took office after the 2021 coup, and his declining health adds to the uncertainty in Myanmar's political landscape, especially with no clear succession plan in place.
