Langnyei further explained that the deteriorating and maladministration of the government prompted the Naga Army, under his leadership, to dispatch meeting notices to all Naga Army unit commanders on April 5, 2023.
However, Yung Aung criticized the meeting, labelling it a “factional gathering” and prevented certain Naga army officers from attending.

In response to Yung Aung’s actions, Langnyei stated that on April 10, during a meeting, the Naga Army removed Yung Aung from the chairmanship of the party.
The decision was made due to Yung Aung’s alleged anti-national and anti-party activities, which were in direct violation of the Yezhabo of the NSCN/GPRN.
Since April 10, Langnyei affirmed that the Naga Army had taken over the administration of the NSCN/GPRN government until June 27, 2023.
