This decision has not been taken lightly but I feel compelled to do so due to the lingering internal crisis that has plagued our party for some time. As you are aware, these internal conflicts have led to serious division and litigation within the party. I appreciate the opportunities given to me while been (sic) a member of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and grateful for the experiences and relationships built. However, I feel it is time for me to move on and explore new avenues.”
