The caretaker government of Myanmar (Burmese: အိမ်စောင့်အစိုးရ), officially the Provisional Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar[1] (Burmese: ပြည်ထောင်စုသမ္မတမြန်မာနိုင်ငံတော် အိမ်စောင့်အစိုးရ[2]), is the executive body under the current military junta of Myanmar, the State Administration Council. It replaced the Management Committee of the State Administration Council on 1 August 2021.[2][3] The committee was formed by the State Administration Council after 2021 Myanmar coup d'état. The government is composed of military officers and civilians.
The cabinet is led by prime minister, Min Aung Hlaing, the commander-in-chief of Defence Services.[4][5][6][7][8][9]

Background
The 2021 coup came in the aftermath of the general election on 8 November 2020, in which the National League for Democracy won 396 out of 476 seats in parliament, an even larger margin of victory compared to that in the 2015 election. The military's proxy party, the Union Solidarity and Development Party, won only 33 seats.
The army disputed the results, claiming that the vote was fraudulent. The coup attempt had been rumored for several days, prompting statements of concern from Western powers such as France, the United States, and Australia.[10]
On the morning of 1 February 2021, President Win Myint, State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, as well as several Union Ministers, State and Region Chief Ministers, State and Region Ministers, and elected MPs, were detained by the military.[11] Since then, the State Administration Council has governed the country.[7] The military deposed the elected civilian government and General Min Aung Hlaing, the commander-in-chief of Defence Services, announced the formation of a caretaker government with himself as prime minister and extended military rule through 2023, state media reported on 1 August 2021.[8][6]
This caretaker government is the second in Burmese history since independence.[8]
