In early 1999,[3] he resigned from Parliament and defected to the recently formed United Democratic Movement (UDM). In the 1999 general election, he stood for election to the National Assembly under the UDM's banner,[1] but he was not ranked highly enough to be elected. He served as the UDM's parliamentary liaison officer instead.[4]
