He was arrested in September 1990 and sentenced to 25 years under the Burmese Penal Code's Article 122.[2] He actively took part together with his colleagues in the famous Saffron Revolution.

In 2012, he was elected as member of House of Nationalities following the 2012 Myanmar by-elections. In the 2015 general election, Myint Naing ran for Sagaing Region Hluttaw and was re-elected.
