Members of Sagaing Township National League for Democracy in Sagaing Region U Soe Myint, U Marmad, U Thaung, U Kyaw Mya and U Gani Bai of Ywathitkyi Village, U Aung Kyaw Moe, Daw Khin Lay Maw, U Nay Lin, U Myint Kyaw, U Myint Htoo and U Thaung of Ywama Village and U Than Tun of Padu Village resigned from the party of their own accord and sent copies of their resignations to the NLD Headquarters and authorities concerned.

In the resignation letter sent to Sagaing Region Multi-party Democracy General Election Subcommission, they said that there was a strong disagreement among the NLD leaders and they had no genuine political programme, that it was seeking self-interest bent on grabbing the State power without giving any hand to national development tasks, and that the leaders were playing political tricks lacking political skills. That was why, the NLD members who resigned said, they quit the party of their own violation as they no longer wanted to stand as its members.
