Twenty-eight members of Mogaung Township National League for Democracy including Township executives U Sein Aung and U Z Kham Guam of Mogaung Township National League for Democracy, Monyin District, Kachin State, resigned from the National League for Democracy signing their resignation letters of their own accord and sending the copies of resignation to NLD headquarters and local authorities. At a ceremony held at the Mogaung Township Multiparty Democracy General Election Sub-Commission Office, on 7 May, the 28 NLD members submitted their resignation letters.

Present on the occasion were the chairman of Mogaung Township Multiparty Democracy General Election Sub-Commission, the township law officer, the township justice, the township education officer, the head of township Immigration and National Registration Department, the executive officer of township Development Affairs Committee, head of township revenue department, head of township forestry department and the 28 NLD members. Member of Mogaung Township NLD U Hla Aung acted as masters of ceremonies.

On behalf of the 28 NLD members, U Z Kham Guam explained the cause of their resignation from NLD saying that NLD did not serve the interests of locals but instead becoming a group of good-for-nothing and thus they should not join hands with the self-seekers who were concentrating on grabbing power. He continued to say that NLD was in no position to take a leadership role in the region and they failed to show a good example in carrying out the tasks of national unity.

Moreover, there was division among party members as all party members stuck to personality cult and sectarianism. The activities of NLD did not contribute to regional and national development but posed danger to regional stability. Although the entire people have witnessed development of the State, NLD, with negative views and in collusion with external terrorist groups, was tarnishing the image of the nation. Moreover, according to the decision of the so-called party leader, NLD walked out of the National Convention, which is designed to shape a modern, developed, and discipline flourishing democratic nation. Deviating from the original goals, NLD relied on external elements and thus party members no longer had trust in the party. Turning a blind eye to the national development, NLD stayed aloof from the people and became a separate class. In conclusion, he said that they resigned from NLD of the own volition as they want to truly serve the interests of the nation and the people.

Next, on behalf of the 28 NLD members, Mogaung Township NLD party member U Tin Ngwe presented the resignation letters and materials they used when they were membership to the NLD, to the chairman of the sub-commission.
