A total of seven members — U Aye Win of Tamangyi Village, U Maung Hla of Ale Village, U Sein Myint of Kyonetoo Village, U Khin Latt and U Khin Hlaing of Hla Belu Village, U Myint Aung of Kanbe Village and U Hla Maw Thein of Kinmon Village — of Kayan Township National League for Democracy on 9 June resigned from the NLD of their own account by sending their resignation letters to the party and local authorities concerned.

In their letter sent to Kayan Township Multiparty Democracy Election Subcommission, they said they had voted for the party because they believed that NLD would march on the national political path through national reconsolidation and it would strive for drafting of a State Constitution after 1988. However, the NLD tried to gain only power and it ignored the unity and national reconsolidation among the democratic forces. It assumed that the Tatmadaw government was an enemy. The party also demanded to gain the power instead of participating in drafting of the State Constitution. That was why they had no longer faith and trust in the NLD and reigned from the party.
