Minority Whip representing Balanga/Billiri Federal Constituency of the House of Representatives, Ali Isa, on Tuesday, resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing internal crisis and alleged undemocratic practices within the party.
In a resignation letter dated April 14, 2026, and addressed to the Chairman of Kindiyo Ward in Balanga Local Government Area of Gombe State, Isa said his decision takes immediate effect.
He stated that his exit was “compelled by the way and manner some undemocratic forces have hijacked the party for reasons that are contrary to the founding principles and philosophy of the party, which created a factional leadership.”
The lawmaker said he took the decision after wide consultations with key stakeholders.
Isa said: “After a series of rigorous consultations with my family, political associates, friends, and relevant stakeholders, I have arrived at the conclusion that the path to my political future, as well as the political future of the great people who gave me their mandate, lies outside the PDP.
“It is my firm belief that the people of my constituency deserve a platform on which their interests and political future will be better guaranteed,”
