The Member of Parliament for Walewale, Lariba Zuweira Abudu, has withdrawn from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) primaries in her constituency.
Her withdrawal comes just before a National Executive Committee meeting scheduled for September 11, 2024, intended to address the issue.
In a letter, the Walewale MP stated, “Following the inconclusive re-run of the parliamentary primary in the Walewale constituency yesterday, where the Electoral Commission was unable to declare a result due to an unfortunate incident,”
“I have decided that in the interest of the greater good of the new patriotic party and peace and unity in the Walewale constituency, I will no longer be a candidate for MP in the 2024 elections. I am therefore formally withdrawing from the contest.
“I would like to thank the party for the honour done me in representing my constituency over the last four years and can assure the party of my continued support in the 2024 election campaign.”
