With bitter fighting increasing and the junta's position on power becoming more and more stressed, I don't see a situation resolving to a point where the junta would schedule elections. (And certainly not the disparate groups or a coalition of them coming to power soon and offering elections.)

Why do you think you're right?
With a target date of July 2025 (writing this in January 2024), that seems like plenty of time for motivations of the Tadmadaw to cure towards offering a general election.

Why might you be wrong?
The fighting has intensified during late Fall 2023, and any time there is kinetic conflict, variations against a plan for election can proceed in intensity and width.

Why might you be wrong?
With halting Western support for Ukraine, the war does look to drag on a very long time, and may not result in significant change in Russian territory holdings in Ukraine. However, if that situation changes ( more powerful Western technology and armaments to support Ukraine) then perhaps Putin will need to adjust his game at home.

It will be in Putin's interest to export the advanced air defense missile system(s) to strengthen the relationship with Iran as well as to shore up the outward appearance of the prominence of Russia's independent weapons manufacture capabilities during wartime.
Why might you be wrong?
There are enough wildcards in the current Middle East picture to disrupt any plans or predictions abruptly.
