Four members of Pathein Township, Ayeyawady Division, National League for Democracy resigned from the party of their volition on 21 June.

U Aung Kyaw Myint, U Myo Win, U Than Htay and U Sein Htay sent their resignation letters to the NLD Headquarters and local administrative bodies.

In the letters sent to the Pathein Township Multi-Party General Election Sub-commission , they said they no longer wished to remain NLD members as the party, instead of carrying out pure party politics only, is sticking to seizing power, ignoring the process of national reconsolidation and harming the interests of the State and the people. This was why they made up their mind to leave the party of their own accord, they said.
