The expulsion followed resolution of a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting presided over by the party’s national chairperson, Cecile Mbarire.
“The appointment of Cleophas Malala as the interim secretary general is hereby revoked. These changes are effective immediately,” the party said in a statement.
Omar who is the party’s vice chairperson, was named acting secretary general in the changes.
“Upon wide and consultative deliberations, and in compliance and in accordance with its mandate under Article 8.2 of the party constitution, the National Executive Committee has determined to designate the vice chairperson, Hassan Omar Hassan, to act as the secretary general on interim basis,” the NEC resolved.
