On April 14, 2026, Ali Isa, the Minority Whip of the House of Representatives, officially resigned from the People's Democratic Party (PDP). In a letter addressed to the party's chairman, Isa expressed that his decision was compelled by the undemocratic manner in which the party was being hijacked and the emergence of factional leadership that contradicted the principles and philosophy of the PDP.

He stated that after serious consultations with family, political associates, and relevant stakeholders, he concluded that leaving the PDP was the best path for his political future. Isa emphasized his commitment to representing the interests of the people in his constituency and expressed gratitude for the opportunities provided to him by the PDP during his tenure in the National Assembly.
