United Democratic Party has dramatically walked back its decision of sacking Sheriffo Sonko from the party – for now.
UDP in March sacked Mr Sonko and two councillors from the party after accusing them of ‘straying from the party’s cause’. He was notified in a letter.
Last month, Mr Sonko wrote back to UDP slamming his expulsion from the party as baseless, then hinting he could take the party to court if ‘compelled to do so’.
It has now emerged the party has cancelled its decision in a stunning move.
A UDP official told The Fatu Network the cancellation took place ‘a few days ago’. It was triggered by ‘internal procedural irregularities’, the official added.
The Fatu Network understands the withdrawal affects all three officials; Sheriffo Sonko, Bilal Faal and Momodou Bojang.
