The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expelled Ikenga Ugochinyere, the lawmaker representing Ideato North/Ideato South Federal Constituency of Imo State in the House of Representatives.
The announcement was made on Friday by the Imo PDP Publicity Secretary, Lancelot Obiak, who cited “gross indiscipline, insubordination, and anti-party activities” as reasons for the expulsion.
According to Obiak, the decision followed a recommendation from the PDP executive in Ideato Local Government Area.
A letter dated December 5, 2024, signed by the LGA Chairman, ThankGod Okeke, and the Secretary, Onyebuchi Umeh, was addressed to the Imo State PDP Chairman, formalizing the expulsion.
The letter referenced a disciplinary committee report dated November 27, 2024, which investigated allegations against Ugochinyere under the provisions of Section 57 (1-4) of the PDP Constitution (2017 as amended).
Ugochinyere, who also serves as the spokesperson for the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), has yet to respond to the expulsion at the time of this report.
