The Young Progressives Party (YPP) has expelled a member of the House of Representatives, Uzokwe Peter, over alleged anti-party activities, even as the party elected new national officers to fill vacant positions.

The decisions were contained in a communiqué issued at the end of the party’s 24th Extra-Ordinary National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held in Abuja.

The statement was signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Egbeola Martins.

According to the communiqué dated December 4, 2025, the NEC deliberated on the growth, unity, and progress of the party and reached the following resolutions.

The party’s highest decision-making organ endorsed the expulsion of Peter, who represents Nnewi North, Nnewi South, and Ekwusigo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.

NEC upheld the National Working Committee’s earlier decision “following multiple petitions and verified video evidence of anti-party activities constituting gross misconduct,” in violation of Section 36(7), Article (b, f & o), pages 70 and 71 of the party’s constitution.

The party reaffirmed its “zero-tolerance policy for acts that undermine unity, discipline, and cohesion within the YPP.”

The NEC said it approved the election of several national officers to fill existing vacancies in line with Section 82(1), (2), and (3) of the Electoral Act, 2022.

Those elected include Nana Mahmoud as Deputy National Chairperson; Chigozie Udogu as Deputy National Secretary; Uche Levis as National Legal Adviser; Owoyombo Solomon as Acting National Youth Leader; Paul Chukwuma as National Leader; Sani Darma as North-West Zonal Chairman; and Hon. Olatunbosun Abolarinwa as National Security Adviser.

The NEC congratulated the new officers and urged them “to discharge their duties with diligence, integrity, and commitment to the ideals of the Young Progressives Party.”

A unanimous vote of confidence was passed on the National Chairman, Bishop Amakiri. The motion was moved by the Kaduna State Chairman, Mikailu Abubakar, and seconded by the Ekiti State Chairman, Owoola Daramola.
