State Administration Council

The State Administration Council (Burmese: နိုင်ငံတော်စီမံအုပ်ချုပ်ရေးကောင်စီ; abbreviated SAC or နစက) was a military junta that governed Myanmar from 2021 to 2025, established by Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Min Aung Hlaing following the February 2021 coup d'état and the declaration of a state of emergency by the National Defence and Security Council (NDSC). Under the constitution, the Commander-in-Chief holds absolute legislative, executive, and judicial power during a state of emergency. Min Aung Hlaing delegated his legislative power to the SAC, which he chaired. It formed a provisional administration, also led by Min Aung Hlaing as Prime Minister of Myanmar. It was dissolved with the conclusion of the state of emergency at the end of July 2025, though Min Aung Hlaing's military dictatorship continued through his role on the NDSC, with all powers of the State Administration Council being taken up directly by that body. The Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) has designated the SAC as a "terrorist group" and its legitimacy was contested by the competing National Unity Government of Myanmar (NUG).
