In a country run by a military regime, the scenario that is most likely to happen is that the military would hold elections but could overrule decisions made by those elected.

Military regimes often use a facade of democratic processes, such as elections, to legitimize their rule. However, they typically maintain ultimate control over governance and can negate or ignore electoral outcomes if they do not align with their interests. The military tends to prioritize stability and control over genuine democratic processes, which can lead to a situation where elected officials have limited power and the military retains the ability to intervene as it sees fit.
