Reform UK have been criticised and mocked after Zia Yusuf returned to the party just two days after his dramatic resignation as the party chairman.
Zia Yusuf, Reform UK Party Chairman
Yusuf, a Muslim resigned quit the party after being criticised by party members over a question asked by Reform MP whether or not burqas should be banned.
In his resignation post on X, Yusuf said: “I no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time, and hereby resign the office.”
But in an equally-stunning development, Yusuf announced on Saturday evening that he was returning to the party, albeit in a different capacity.
He said in another post on X: “Over the last 24 hours I have received a huge number of lovely and heartfelt messages from people who have expressed their dismay at my resignation, urging me to reconsider.”

Critics believed that the Chairman may not be a man of his words or have strong conviction about issues.
