Jason Smithers, the former leader of North Northamptonshire Council, has called for Kemi Badenoch to resign as head of the Conservative Party following devastating local election results. The Conservatives lost a total of 674 seats across the country, with significant losses in Northamptonshire, a stronghold for the party. Despite Badenoch’s previous promises to act as a credible alternative to Labour, Smithers criticized her absence during the elections and expressed concern about the potential decline of the party if strong leadership isn’t restored.
"I can't see how a leader of a party can stay on with such terrible results across the country," said Smithers, highlighting the urgency for leadership change.
"She has not helped in these elections; she has not once come forward and helped at all," Smithers stated, criticizing Badenoch's lack of support during campaign efforts.
