YPP Expels Anambra Lawmaker for Backing Soludo!

Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa

The Young Progressives Party (YPP) has expelled Hon. Peter Uzokwe, who represents Nnewi North, Nnewi South, and Ekwusigo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, over alleged anti-party activities and misconduct.

What We Know:

• Uzokwe was accused of publicly endorsing Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), contrary to party interests.
• The party described his actions as “grossly unbecoming” and “a betrayal of party loyalty.”
• His expulsion followed a disciplinary committee recommendation approved by the YPP National Working Committee.

Quote:

“No member is above the constitution of the party. Hon. Uzokwe’s conduct violated core party ethics.”
— YPP National Secretary

Why It Matters:

• Signals YPP’s attempt to enforce party discipline ahead of 2026 elections.
• Highlights growing political realignments in Anambra State.
• Could trigger a by-election or legal challenge if Uzokwe contests the expulsion.

What to Watch:

• Uzokwe’s response or possible defection.
• INEC’s stance on his status in the House of Reps.
• Ripple effects within YPP and among opposition alliances in Anambra.
