Myanmar Media reported a potential military coup after the news of widespread fraud in the elections held in November.

However, Myanmar's military said in a statement on Saturday that its military chief had not threatened to "coup" over election fraud. According to the statement, what the Chief said had been distorted.

Democracy has only been restored recently in Myanmar after five decades of military rule.

The Southeast Asian country has been embroiled in political turmoil since last year when an army spokesman said the military coup five decades ago would be repeated if the November election rigging was ignored. 

In a meeting with his senior officials on Wednesday, Army Chief General Min Aung Hlaing said the constitution would be repealed if the law was not followed. As soon as the activity of army vehicles started increasing in various big cities, suspicion has arisen.

In a public statement on Saturday, some media outlets objected to the news that the army could repeal the constitution without any basis. The statement said that the statement was made out of context.

The ruling National League for Democracy party won 396 of the 476 seats in the November 8 election. That is why Aung San Suu Kyi was given the right to rule for another five years.

The army-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party won only 33 seats. Democracy was restored in Myanmar in 2010. Before this, there was army rule here.
