Zia Yusuf has quit as Reform Party chairman. Nigel Farage and other power brokers within the Reform fold took to social media in an attempt at message control not long after Yusuf announced the parting of ways this evening. “Politics can be a highly pressured and difficult game and Zia has clearly had enough. He is a loss to us and public life,” Farage said to the nation about Yusuf’s decision to walk away.
“I no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time, and hereby resign the office,” Zia Yusuf wrote
But Yusuf’s choice of words in his resignation statement suggested there may be more to this story. “I no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time, and hereby resign the office,” Yusuf wrote on X. Ouch. There’s just no way to sugarcoat it: the now former Reform chairman has stormed off in a huff.
