Five members— U Hla Hsan, U Tin Kywe, U Kyaw Win, U Paw Thein and U Myint Swe —of Thazin village-tract of Sagaing Township National League for Democracy of Sagaing Region resigned from the party of their own accord on 22 June. They sent their resignation letters to NLD headquarters and local authorities.

In their letters sent to Sagaing Region Multiparty Democracy General Election Sub-commission, they said that the NLD (Headquarters) has no exact political course. Due to disunity within the party, it did not serve the community. The fledgling and incompetent party leaders were sticking to seizing power. Therefore, they no longer wished to be members of the party and resigned from the party of their own volition.
