UKIP postpone NEC Elections

Nigel Farage hits the election trail


Helping to reinforce the image that the United Kingdom Independence Party are a bunch of incompetent amateurs they have now decided to postpone their National Executive Council elections!

It's just one farce after another as Leader of the UKIP Nigel Farage MEP lurches UKIP from one farcical crisis to another. Exactly how much money is it going to cost UKIP to re run their NEC Elections?

Perhaps Nigel should give up trying to be a Magician and try being a Clown instead?

UKIP Statement in full:

NEC election to be postponed

06-04-2007

Statement by the Returning Officer

The March edition of Independence News, which contained material for the election to the National Executive Committee, also contained articles from four of the candidates for this election.

As Returning Officer, I received complaints that this oversight gave an unfair advantage to those candidates. I accept those complaints and accordingly am arranging for the election to be run with the same candidates whose details will be published along with new ballot papers in the May edition of Independence News. I will also liaise with the editor to ensure that no articles or letters by any of the candidates appear in that edition.

M A Zuckerman
Returning Officer
