Jeffrey Titford was appointed as interim leader by the new NEC in Torquay yesterday.
Titford was UKIP leader between 2000 and 2002 and was a UKIP MEP for the East of England until last year when he decided not to stand for re-election.
Jeffrey is an excellent choice for interim leader, an established politician, former leader and well known.
In other good news, Nigel Farage has decided to stand again for leader of UKIP. Nigel is by far the most successful leader we have had and easily the most recognisable and media savvy senior UKIPper.
Frank Maloney has ruled himself out, as has Paul Nuttall. The "big names" who intend to stand for leader are Nigel Farage, David Campbell Bannerman, Gerard Batten and Prof. Tim Congdon. Unless there's a mystery contender yet to declare their intentions, the contest is a two-horse race between Nigel Farage and David Campbell Bannerman and Farage has got to be the favourite.
