The Labour Party (LP) has suspended Senator Kevin Chukwu, representing Enugu East Senatorial Zone, from the party over alleged anti-party activities and insubordination.
The suspension, which was announced by the Amuri Ward executives of the party, was communicated in a letter signed by the Ward Chairman and addressed to the Labour Party Chairman in Enugu State through the Local Government Chairman.

“Notice of Your Suspension from the Labour Party
