They were expelled by a faction of the party loyal to its political leader Sen. Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence as part of a power struggle. This is despite Bility’s chairmanship being nullified by the party's political leader following an investigation, which claims that "the convention that brought the expelled chairman to power was fraudulently conducted." Prior to that, Bility suspended the political leader and Senator Dillon along with some partisans for not having paid their party dues. The suspension was never enforced, nor was the nullification of Bility’s chairmanship since the electoral body continues to recognize Bility as chair and Sen. Karngar Lawrence as political leader. The LP political leader appears to be leaning towards Boakai, while Bility supports Cummings.
