4. In the process of looking for potential rival polling station executives, you have been creating discord and factionalism among party members in the constituency.

5. Your actions have brought the name of the party into disrepute or public ridicule as captured under article 7 (I)(g) of the Party’s constitution

While you are referred to the Regional Disciplinary Committee, you may hand over all party properties with you to the Constituency Chairman pending the final determination of the matter”
