The Hon. H0RPH MP has defected from the Nationals to the Unionists, after having been removed as the party’s Justice candidate in the Commons.
The National Party have recently come under scrutiny following recent inter-party disputes including a no confidence motion against the Party Leader, Kingmaster_I, for not progressing the party since their defeat in the last election.
H0RPH was one of the senior MPs to file for no confidence in the Leader, but following an electoral investigation by the Electoral Commission, was subsequently removed from Parliament for 3 strikes.
However, he was welcomed into the Unionists, as highlighted in their party press release, which shared “The Unionist Party are delighted to be welcoming H0RPH, who brings a wealth of experience to the MOJ.”
In a comment on the decision to defect, the Hon. MP told the BBC: “The Unionists have a lot of work that needs doing but this is where I strive. Their party have a foundation of such a great team, one that works specifically for the country and I am extremely excited for what is to come.”
Talking about why he left his old party, he said: “The Nationals constantly get let down by the current party leader, and it is a shame.”
