When the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) stepped into power after the May 22, 2014 coup, it made several bold promises such as fostering national reconciliation, introducing sweeping reforms and improving the economy.
Four years on, critics, academics and opinion surveys give mixed views on whether the regime has been successful. The regime was seen to be successful with issues such as maintaining security and peace and order and restoring the macro-economy.
But critics say the regime has fallen short in delivering some promises, particularly reforms in various areas and boosting households and the grassroots economy.
