At­tor­ney Lar­ry Lal­la, SC, has part­ed ways with the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) af­ter a 13-year tenure with the par­ty.

In a res­ig­na­tion let­ter to par­ty chair­man Dave Tan­coo yes­ter­day, Lal­la said he was grate­ful for the re­la­tion­ships built and ex­pe­ri­ences gained dur­ing his time but said he could no longer en­deav­our in the par­ty af­ter be­ing un­able to ad­vo­cate for in­ter­nal re­form.

“As you well know, I have ad­vo­cat­ed, un­suc­cess­ful­ly, for change in the par­ty for the past nine years (2015 as part of the UNC Loy­al­ists team, 2020 as part of the Lo­tus team and 2024 as part of the Unit­ed Pa­tri­ots team) and hav­ing done so, I have ar­rived at the con­clu­sion I can af­ford no more time to my ef­forts in the par­ty.”
