The leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Yendi Constituency has formally informed Hon.
Hussein Abdul-Karim, affectionately known as Lanburns, of the forfeiture of his party membership.
This decision comes after Abdul-Karim publicly declared his intention to run as an Independent Parliamentary candidate in the upcoming 2024 parliamentary elections, a move that has significant implications for his political career.
The NPP's decision is rooted in Article 3(9)(1) of its constitution, which clearly states that any party member who stands as an independent candidate or supports another political party while the NPP has an official candidate automatically loses their membership.
