Media reported in October 2016 on the turmoil within the UK Independence Party (UKIP), following the resignation from the party of the favourite to hold its leadership, Steven Woolfe. He branded the party 'ungovernable' without Nigel Farage. Mr Woolfe's decision to quit UKIP followed him being hospitalised earlier in the month after an altercation in which he claimed we was hit by a fellow party politician. Fellow MEP Diane James had been elected UKIP leader in September, promising to build on the party’s success following the Brexit referendum, but ended up resigning just 18 days later, saying she did not have sufficient authority or backing of the party. Paul Nuttall was elected the new party leader on 28 November 2016 following a ballot with party members. |
