Reform UK to Elect New Leaders in Nottinghamshire, Lancashire Councils

News summary

Reform UK, having secured majorities in both Nottinghamshire and Lancashire county councils in recent local elections, is finalizing its leadership selection processes amid criticism over delays. In Nottinghamshire, Reform UK won a decisive majority, surpassing the threshold required to form a government, but has faced scrutiny from outgoing Conservative leaders for not immediately naming a new council leader. The party has denied reports that a leader was already chosen and clarified that an official selection meeting will take place, with the announcement expected soon. Similarly, in Lancashire, Reform UK delayed its leadership vote to establish formal procedures, with several former Conservative councillors now vying for the top role. Critics from rival parties have questioned the new governing group's experience, but Reform UK maintains that their broader professional backgrounds and prior local government service will benefit council administration. Both councils are set to confirm their leadership in the coming days, marking a significant shift in local governance.
