Reform UK chairman reverses decision to quit party
Saturday, 7 June 2025 () Reform UK chairman Zia Yusuf has reversed his decision to quit the party, saying "the mission is too important" and that he "cannot let people down".
Nigel Farage, leader of Britain’s hard-right Reform UK party, welcomes David Bull as the party's new chairman. "I see this as the ultimate push. We are going to fight and we are going to win the next general election,” Bull says on stage after the announcement.
Television presenter and ex-MEP David Bull has been named the new chairman of Reform UK, following Zia Yusuf's brief resignation and return amid a heated internal debate over burqa bans. Bull, a longtime ally of Nigel Farage and former deputy leader, brings media polish and party experience. Farage praised Yusuf for enduring the strain of professionalizing the party. As Reform eyes major political gains and pushes bold policies—including reindustrializing the UK and exploring crypto—Bull takes charge during one of the party's most chaotic weeks yet.
