2012

He was tipped to be nominated to become Vice President of Burma after Tin Aung Myint Oo's resignation in 2012, but did not qualify per the Constitution of Burma, as his son-in-law was an Australian citizen at the time.

2016

On 30 March 2016, he was sworn in as the vice president of Myanmar.

A member of the military proxy Union Solidarity and Development Party, he is an ethnic Mon former lieutenant general in the Myanmar Army.

Myint Swe was declared acting president by the Tatmadaw (military) in the coup d'état on 1 February 2021, after which he immediately declared a state of emergency and formally transferred power to the coup leader Min Aung Hlaing.

Throughout his political career, Myint Swe has worked to ensure the Tatmadaw's influence in politics.

He has rarely been seen in public since the coup, with Min Aung Hlaing serving as the face of the government.

Myint Swe's main role in the military government has been to formally grant and renew Min Aung Hlaing's emergency powers.

On 11 March 2016, military-appointed MPs of the Assembly of the Union nominated him as one of the Vice Presidents of Myanmar.

He received 213 votes on 15 March 2016 and became First Vice President of Htin Kyaw's Cabinet.

He was sworn in on 30 March 2016.

2018

He previously served as the acting president after the resignation of President Htin Kyaw on 21 March 2018, and the chief minister of Yangon Region from 30 March 2011 to 30 March 2016.

On 21 March 2018, following the sudden resignation of Htin Kyaw as President of Myanmar, Myint Swe was sworn in as acting president under the Constitution of Myanmar, which also called for the Assembly to select a new president within seven days of Htin Kyaw's resignation.

On 1 February 2021, President Win Myint was removed from office in a coup and detained by the Tatmadaw (military), so Myint Swe would become Acting President, allowing him to call a meeting of the military-controlled National Defence and Security Council and declare a state of emergency and formally transfer power to coup leader Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Min Aung Hlaing.

The military maintains that Myint Swe constitutionally assumed the presidency because the constitution states the first vice president becomes acting president if the presidency becomes vacant due to "resignation, death, permanent disability or any other cause".

However, according to the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, this interpretation is questionable as the military had no legal authority to detain Win Myint and the constitution provides for an impeachment and removal process which was not followed.

Myint Swe has extended the state of emergency five times by six month periods at meetings of the National Defence and Security Council, but has not otherwise participated in government.

The third extension was especially controversial because the constitution says up to two extensions are "normally" allowed.

Myint Swe acknowledged this but justified the extension due to what he said are "unusual circumstances" (namely, the civil war started by the military’s seizure of power).

The junta-packed Constitutional Tribunal affirmed his interpretation.

In a November 2023 meeting of the NDSC, Myint Swe warned that the country was at risk of being "split into various parts" amid the civil war.

Myint Swe is of Mon descent.

He is married to Khin Thet Htay, and has two children.
