Dr. Myo Set Thway has left the People's Pioneer Party (PPP) and joined the National Democratic Force (NDF) party.

The NDF party announced on August 17, 2025, that Dr. Myo Set Thway has been appointed as the Secretary of its Central Executive Committee.

Dr. Myo Set Thway wrote on his Facebook page, along with the letter of acceptance from the NDF party: "I'm not destined to sit and eat at the dinner table, so I've left after preparing the meal for those who are. I'm a person who is used to paving new roads and walking them, so I will now walk a new path with new road-paving companions. I hope my old friends and acquaintances will understand."

Dr. Myo Set Thway previously served as the General Secretary of the People's Pioneer Party (PPP), led by Dr. Thet Thet Khine, and resigned from the party on August 10, 2025.

According to sources close to him, Dr. Myo Set Thway's resignation from the PPP party was due to internal factionalism, dominance by one group, and personal attacks.

Both PPP and NDF are political parties that will be competing nationwide in the upcoming elections, which are scheduled to begin on December 28, 2025.
