RESIGNATION FROM THE PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY
After careful consideration and extensive consultation with family, friends, political leaders, and associates, I have made the decision to resign my membership from the People’s Democratic Party, effective immediately
This was not an easy decision for me. Being a member of this party has been a significant part of my life. Over the years, I have worked with passion and conviction alongside many others who believe in the vision and ideals we stand for. Together, we have experienced victories, setbacks, growth, and transformation. These moments have shaped me, and for them, I will always be grateful.
However, I believe the time has come for me to take a different path, one that allows me to explore new perspectives and opportunities for service, growth, and impact.
I remain thankful for the friendships, mentorship, and lessons gained during my time with the party. I leave with no regrets and with deep respect for the leadership and members who continue to carry the party’s vision forward.
