The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has expelled its presidential candidate Dumebi Kachikwu and seven other chieftains over alleged anti-party activities barely 12 days to kick off campaigns for the 2023 general elections.
Recall that the presidential candidate of the ADC has been on suspension since September 3.
But, Kachikwu was finally expelled with seven others by the partyโs National Working Committee (NWC) after review of the report of a seven-man disciplinary panel set up to look into the allegations of gross misconduct, anti-party activities and gross violations of the Constitution amongst others leveled against him and others.
The decision of the partyโs NWC was contained in a statement by the National Chairman of the party, Mr. Ralphs Okey Nwosu in Abuja on Saturday.
The statement reads, โThe seven-man Disciplinary Panel set up by the African Democratic Congress, ADC to look into the allegations of gross misconduct, anti party activities and gross violations of the Partyโs constitution amongst others leveled against Mr. Dumebi Kachikwu and others, sat on the 8th, 9th, 10th, 12th, 13th and 14th of September respectively and submitted its report formally to the leadership of the party on the 15th of September 2022.
