REFORM UK chairman Zia Yusuf has reversed his move to quit the party just 48 hours after he dramatically resigned his post.

The businessman says his sudden decision to quit on Thursday was due to “exhaustion”, following 11 months of working to “build a political party from scratch”.

But despite previously saying he no longer believed that trying to get Nigel Farage elected PM was a “good use of my time”, the businessman will now return to the party in a new role.

This fresh position will see him head up a “UK DOGE team”, inspired by Elon Musk’s government “efficiency” department in the US.

In a statement on X, Mr Yusuf said: “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.

“After 11 months of working as a volunteer to build a political party from scratch, with barely a single day off, my tweet was a decision born of exhaustion.”

He added: “I know the mission is too important and I cannot let people down.

“So, I will be continuing my work with Reform, my commitment redoubled.”

Mr Yusuf has also reversed his view on the party’s leader – Nigel Farage – saying now that he believes it’s the “most important project of my life” to get the politician elected as prime minister.
