"Owain Clatworthy expressed his discontent with Reform UK, stating that 'recent events, including poor internal decision making, a lack of discipline and serious concerns around candidate selection, have made it clear to me that Reform UK is no longer operating in a way that reflects the standards I believe the public deserve.'"
"A Reform source confirmed that Derek Roberts had 'stepped back for personal reasons but remains an active champion for veterans in his community,' highlighting the impact of personal circumstances on candidate availability."
Reform UK has lost four candidates in one week for the Senedd constituency covering Bridgend and the Vale of Glamorgan. Derek Roberts stepped down for personal reasons, while Owain Clatworthy left in protest over the party's selection process. Corey Edwards, the first candidate, resigned after a controversial photo surfaced. Clatworthy criticized the party for poor decision-making and a lack of community connection among candidates. Reform UK aims to present a full list for the upcoming election, with nominations closing on April 9.
