In September, the party's NEC suspended Aukot indefinitely and barred him from representing or transacting any business on behalf of the party.
Aukot was expelled as the party leader over financial impropriety and lack of transparency to party members.
"The disciplinary committee convened on September 4 and all witnesses and complaints appeared and testified, however, Aukot did not appear nor did he send an apology… NEC has today received disciplinary committee report which it (NEC) adopted unanimously and recommended that Aukot having no need to defend himself be dismissed from the party membership and position as party leader" Okango said.
