Nadhim Zahawi has made a bold political move! The former Conservative chancellor has officially joined Reform UK, declaring that the nation “needs Nigel Farage as prime minister”. During a press conference, Zahawi, who played a significant role in the UK’s vaccine rollout, expressed his belief that Farage would lead a team capable of delivering real change for the country.
Standing alongside Farage in central London, Zahawi said that the UK is “drinking at the last chance saloon,” emphasising the urgency for new leadership. Farage welcomed Zahawi to Reform UK, seeing his switch as proof that the party is more than just a “one-man band”.
This news comes after Zahawi’s sacking as Tory Party chairman back in 2023 over tax affairs investigations. His shift to Reform UK adds a new twist to the political landscape.
