The State Security and Peace Commission (Burmese: နိုင်ငံတော်လုံခြုံရေးနှင့် အေးချမ်းသာယာရေးကော်မရှင်; abbrevaited SSPC[2] or နလအ) is a body appointed by the National Defence and Security Council in 2025 to assist Min Aung Hlaing in his oversight of the 2025 Myanmar general election.[3] Min Aung Hlaing has ruled the country since seizing power in 2021, and now formally exercises power through his role on the NDSC since the state of emergency expired in 2025.[3]
The Commission was established by order No. 4/2025 of the NDSC[1] under Section 427 of the 2008 Constitution of Myanmar, which gives the NDSC absolute power to determine the executive in between sessions of the legislature. The Commission's stated purpose is to ensure the election is held and a new elected administration is sworn in.[4]
The SSPC does not replace the State Administration Council, which was the governing body under the state of emergency. Rather, the SAC's powers were transferred back to the NDSC at the conclusion of the state of emergency.[3] Despite its formally limited role, the SSPC is stacked with a similar powerful membership to the makeup of the SAC, and its formation has been considered part of a cosmetic restructuring of the existing power structure. The SSPC has ten members, most of them being former members of the SAC.[5][6]
