Zia Yusuf is returning to Reform UK after sensationally quitting his role as party chairman.
The 38-year-old said his decision to step down was a “mistake” and the result of “exhaustion”.
He told the Sunday Times he had been working for 11 months “without a day off”.
Mr Yusuf will lead the “Doge” unit to root out waste in the 10 councils it controls. He will also take part in making policy, raising funds and representing Reform UK in the media.
