Members of Ayadaw Township National League for Democracy in Sagaing Region U Kyaw Thein, U Tin Myint, U Kan Win, U Nay Win, U Win Oo, U Kyaw Lin, Ma Tint (a) Ma Khin Mar Tint and Ma Win Sein resigned from the party of their own accord on 28 May sending their resignations to NLD Headquarters and authorities concerned. Likewise, member of YeU Township NLD U Sat Shwin quit the party of his own accord on 8 March.

The resignation letters sent to Sagaing Region Multi-party Democracy General Election Subcommission says they lost interest in being NLD members due to its leaders seeking self-interest, relying on some western powers and following their instructions through foreign embassies and attempting to harm the State and the people. Another reason is that, the letter says, they quit the party as they want to participate in nation-building tasks side by side with the government.
