Both lawmakers in their letters cited irreconcilable differences following the party primaries as part of the reasons for their leaving the ruling party.
Kazzim specifically complained that “god-fatherism” played a major role in the emergence of party representatives in the 2019 elections, describing that as undemocratic and against relevant sections of the Constitution.
