The Conservative MP Tim Yeo is said to be "considering his position" after his local party voted not to re-adopt him for the next general election.
The long-serving South Suffolk MP was cleared of lobbying allegations by the parliamentary sleaze watchdog earlier in November and was reinstated as chairman of the influential Commons Energy Committee.
However, the local party issued a statement to the Ipswich Star saying: "The executive council of the South Suffolk Conservative Association met on the evening of Friday, November 29 and voted not to re-adopt Tim Yeo for the 2015 general election.
"Mr Yeo is now considering his position and will advise the executive council of his intended course of action."
Mr Yeo, 68, who served as environment minister in John Major's government, has represented the constituency for three decades, and won an 8,600 majority in 2010.
In June he was caught up in a newspaper sting and faced allegations that he offered to lobby ministers and "coached" a business associate who was due to give evidence to his committee.
The cross-party standards committee found he had done nothing wrong but parliamentary standards commissioner Kathryn Hudson urged the MP to "consider more carefully the impact of his comments".
Mr Yeo had told the commissioner that he saw the meeting with the developers as "an opportunity to learn about a technology" rather than "recruitment".
In a statement issued after he was cleared he welcomed the outcome.
He said: "This investigation included a thorough examination of the full video recording produced - after a six-week delay - to the Commissioner by The Sunday Times.
"Based on what I actually said, rather than what I was reported by the newspaper to have said, the Commissioner found and the Committee confirms that I have not acted in breach of the Code of Conduct."
