Official reason

Bran Shaung was nominated as a member the Union Election Commission (UEC) on 26 Feb 2021. By accepting this nomination in the aftermath of the military coup of 1 Feb 2021, and through his actions as a member of the UEC, notably the annulment of the results of the Nov 2020 elections without any proven evidence of fraud, as well as the filing of charges for electoral fraud for the same elections, and the repression against former members of the UEC, Bran Shaung has been directly involved in actions undermining democracy and the rule of law in Myanmar/Burma.
