<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">unelected group</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for junta that I've seen before include "Group heading a military government" , "Military cabal" , "Legislative council" , "Group of military rulers" , "unelected rulers" .)
