Eta was expelled for not withdrawing the court case instituted against the Mala Buni-led caretaker committee.

The National Executive Council of the All Progressives Congress which extended the tenure of the Mala Buni-led caretaker committee of the party by six months, dissolved all states, zonals and national party structures.
