Councillor Rob Parsonage, the party's group leader at Cornwall Council, has stepped down. He was among 28 Reform UK councillors elected in May, forming the largest group on the local authority.
Following careful consideration, Cllr Robert Parsonage has decided to step down from his role as group leader, effective immediately.
A coalition between the Liberal Democrats and independents prevented Reform UK from gaining control. Keith Johnson has been elected as interim group leader, with Kevin Towill as deputy leader, ensuring continuity.
