Naypyidaw Council

The Naypyidaw Council (Burmese: နေပြည်တော်ကောင်စီ, officially spelt Nay Pyi Taw Council) is the executive body under the President of Myanmar that administers the Naypyidaw Union Territory, the first-level administrative division of Myanmar that houses the national capital city of Naypyidaw.

The Council is formed by the President, who appoints members based on constitutional requirements. The President must nominate both civilian and Tatmadaw personnel into the Council membership. The Council, which is headed by a Chairperson, reports directly to the President. The Constitution also stipulates that the Naypyidaw Council shares offices with the Ministry of Home Affairs' General Administration Department (GAD), and that the head of GAD serves as an ex-officio secretary of the Naypyidaw Council.
