History

The office was first held by Richard Tice from May 2019 to March 2021 under the leadership of Nigel Farage. [1] Tice left the role in order to replace Farage as leader of the party. [2] With Tice's departure this left the role vacant until 2024 when he reassumed the role when he stepped down as party leader to allow Nigel Farage to return to the role for the upcoming general election. [3]

Following the election, in July 2024, during a re-shuffle of Reform's leadership team, Tice was replaced as chairman by Zia Yusuf. Tice became deputy leader in this re-shuffle. [4]

Yusuf chaired the party through the 2025 local elections then later resigned on 5 July 2025. Two days later he returned to working for the party; now as the leader of the Reform UK DOGE. [5]

The role remained vacant for five days until the appointment of former deputy party leader David Bull on 10 June 2025. [6]

Vice Chairman

On 3 July 2025, Reform UK appointed its first vice chairman. This was former UKIP leader, Paul Nuttall. [7] [8]
