"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. He wrote: The many false allegations and smears made against me and others, and reported as fact without evidence, have been surprising and disappointing. However, I am confident that my colleagues and I have acted professionally, patiently, and in good faith throughout."
"Your Party has faced a series of splits and disagreements in its short history, mainly pitting Sultana, who was elected as a Labour MP but now sits as an independent, against Corbyn, the former Labour leader, and four other independents who were allied with the group. Last week, Mohamed and Hussain, plus the two other independent MPs and Corbyn, signed a Your Party statement accusing Sultana of unnecessary delay in passing on 850,000 in donations, a move that infuriated Sultana."
Two independent MPs have left Your Party within a week, raising doubts about the group's viability. Iqbal Mohamed, elected last year for Dewsbury and Batley, announced on X that he would leave the party and remain an independent, citing many false allegations and smears against him and others. Adnan Hussain resigned last Friday, blaming persistent infighting and a power struggle. Your Party has experienced splits mainly between Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn with other allied independents. A dispute over delays in transferring £850,000 in donations further inflamed tensions and prompted accusations of attempted undermining ahead of a leadership contest.
