The Karenni State Interim Executive Council (Burmese: ကရင်နီပြည် ကြားကာလအုပ်ချုပ်ရေးကောင်စီ; Karenni IEC) is a provisional government established in Karenni State, Myanmar.

History

The Karenni IEC was established on 12 June 2023 by the Karenni State Consultative Council (KSCC) during the Myanmar civil war. It was created to unify the many Karenni resistance groups which control territory throughout Karenni State, bring stability to the region, and establish a unified governing body in resistance-held areas of Karenni State. The Karenni IEC is the first regional provisional government established during the Myanmar civil war, followed by several others, including the Chinland Council. It has implemented its own administrative delimitation in the territories under its control, demarcating 16 townships in place of the 7 townships recognized by the previous authorities. It also begun to set up its own justice system and to manage district and township courts.

On October 29, 2024, the IEC formed their armed wing, the Kayan National Army.
