Reform UK Rochford Council Leader Adiyta Maliva on Resignation Watch!
Reform UK's Council Leader for Rochford in Essex is on 'resignation watch' following allegations of electoral malpractice, in the May local elections.
His main residence is in Braintree.
In order to qualify as a local candidate in Rochford, he changed the address of his business, 31 December Consulting Ltd, at companies house, and then used that new address to register as a candidate , some three days before the close of nominations. He was the. chosen as Reform’s Council Leader at the post-election AGM, in May.
The address he chose, Flat 1, Blossom Weir Apartments, Arterial Road, Rayleigh, is actually in the neighbouring borough of Castle Point - meaning he has clearly broken electoral law - which is now being actively investigated.
