The Unity Party has announced the suspension of 28 ranking officials, including two sitting government ministers, citing negligence and failure to fulfill their responsibilities within the party.
The decision was reached during a special session of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) on September 13, 2025.
According to the NEC, the affected members repeatedly failed to attend meetings and participate in key party activities, despite multiple reminders. Party leaders described this pattern as a violation of the Unity Party’s constitution and a betrayal of the trust placed in them.
As part of the disciplinary action, each suspended member will serve a one-month suspension and must pay a fine of US$1,000 into the party’s account. The NEC warned that failure to comply could lead to expulsion.
Additionally, the party instructed all delinquent members to settle their outstanding dues within one month, stressing that further disregard would attract “serious consequences.”
The suspension list includes prominent figures such as Finance Minister Augustine Ngafuan and Information Minister Jerolinmek Piah, alongside senators, representatives, former officials, and other senior partisans.
