Craig Butler, Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) treasurer, is planning to resign his post and to leave the opposition party.
Butler, an attorney, was denied the PLP nomination to run as a candidate in the Elizabeth by-election in February 2010.
He was again denied the PLP nomination to run as the party’s candidate in the Kennedy constituency at the next general election. Attorney Dion Smith received the nomination.
In September 2009, the PLP treasurer before Butler, Sidney Cambridge, also resigned after he was charged by the government of the United States with money laundering.
