Myanmar junta chief Min Aung Hlaing resigns military post, moves toward civilian presidency

Myanmar's top military leader Min Aung Hlaing resigned from the armed forces after parliament cleared his nomination for president, formally transitioning from military to civilian position. Analysts characterize this as cosmetic institutional restructuring rather than substantive power-sharing, maintaining junta control through constitutional mechanisms. The move represents consolidation of military authority under a civilian facade in a post-coup Myanmar.
