Mohamed says decision to leave was after ‘many false allegations and smears’ against him and others
A second MP within a week has quit Your Party in acrimonious circumstances, throwing yet more doubt on the viability of the leftwing group co-led by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana.
In a statement on X, Iqbal Mohamed, who was elected as the independent MP for Dewsbury and Batley last year, said his decision to leave was after “many false allegations and smears” against him and others, which he did not explain.
Last Friday another independent MP involved in Your Party, Adnan Hussain, quit because of what he called “persistent infighting and a struggle for power” in the organisation.
In his statement, Mohamed said he wished the best for Your Party, but that “after careful consideration” he had decided to leave it and remain as an independent.
