The decision, approved unanimously, was finalized Jan. 6, severing Duncan’s ties to the GOP after years of accusations of disloyalty.
The resolution lists several allegations against Duncan, including allegations that he undermined GOP candidates, supported Democratic opponents and used his affiliation with the Republican Party for personal gain.
In a post on X, Duncan suggested the resolution was not a good use of the party’s time.

“Hard to believe this is time well spent for a party that only has a limited amount of time to come up with mass deportations, world peace and global tariffs. Learn how to take a victory lap and not start another dumpster fire @JoshMcKoon,” he wrote, calling out the Georgia GOP chairman.
According to the resolution, Duncan is “barred from all property owned or leased by the Republican Party of Georgia and any events held by or under the authority of the Republican Party of Georgia.”
The Georgia GOP said Duncan was barred from qualifying as a candidate for the Georgia Republican Party. The group also said his previous GOP nominations for lieutenant governor and, before that, for the state House of Representatives, both races he won in the primary and general election, were expunged.

The resolution required Duncan to stop calling himself a Republican for personal gain or to undermine and sabotage the Republican Party and its candidates.
The state party also called on the media to refer to Duncan as a “kicked-out Republican” in future references.
