The Myanmar National League for Democracy (NLD) is a political party in Myanmar, founded in 1988. It aims to promote democracy, human rights, and social justice in the country. The NLD gained significant popularity and won a majority in the 2015 general elections, marking a historic moment in Myanmar's political landscape. The party's leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, has been a prominent figure in the struggle for democracy in Myanmar. However, the NLD faced challenges following a military coup in February 2021, which led to the detention of many party leaders and a crackdown on democratic processes in the country.
