Reform UK Members Gain More Control Over Party Leadership

Reform UK's conference voted to give members more control over policies and leadership. Nigel Farage signed the new constitution, making the party a not-for-profit organization with enhanced member participation. The new rules allow members to influence policies and remove the leader through a no-confidence vote.

Reform UK's conference in Birmingham saw the approval of a new constitution giving members more control over the party’s policies and leadership.

Party leader Nigel Farage signed the document on stage after the vote was passed by a show of hands.

Reform UK, founded as a private limited company with Farage holding the majority of shares, won 14% of the vote in July's general election and has five MPs, including Farage.

The new constitution, now making the party a not-for-profit governed by a rulebook with no shareholders, allows members to influence policies and remove the leader through a no-confidence vote.

Party chairman Zia Yusuf facilitated the vote, with only a few opposing.

These amendments mark a significant move towards making Reform UK more professional and member-driven.
