Republican Party of Arkansas delegates take legal action over party leaders

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KAIT/KARK) – The Republican Party of Arkansas State Convention delegates recently took legal action against leaders of its own party.

According to our content partner KARK, this action took place after the RPA executive committee’s decision to not allow the party to enforce the closed GOP primaries in the state.

“The lawsuit, filed by 2024 State Convention Chairwoman Jennifer Lancaster in the United States East District of Arkansas, claims 18 members of the RPA’s State Executive Committee voted to nullify motions passed by more than 600 delegates in June, following an advisory opinion done by the Party Rules Committee chairwoman that pointed to the items not being on the convention’s agenda ahead of time for proper notice,” KARK reported.

Following the meeting, RPA Chairman Joseph Wood said that the vote to deem these actions null and void was because they failed to give proper notice and officially put the items on the agenda.

The lawsuit asked the court to order the defendants to take immediate action to close the RPA primaries and all other rules and platform change the party made on June 8.
