The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expelled Hon. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, the House of Representatives member for Ideato North/Ideato South in Imo State, over serious allegations of indiscipline and anti-party behavior.
In a letter issued on December 5, 2024, the Ideato LGA chapter of the PDP announced Ugochinyere’s expulsion, citing his failure to adhere to party norms. According to the disciplinary committee’s report, Ugochinyere was found guilty of a series of offenses, including neglecting to attend party meetings, spreading unauthorized information about internal disputes, and establishing rival party structures at the ward, LGA, and national levels. His repeated public criticisms and derogatory statements against the party and its leaders were also flagged as actions that harmed the party’s image.
This decision follows a suspension issued earlier in October 2024, after Ugochinyere failed to respond to disciplinary summons. The party leadership emphasized that his actions were in clear violation of PDP’s constitution, leading to his expulsion with immediate effect. Ugochinyere is now officially no longer a member of the PDP.
