Crisis-hit UKIP decides fate of latest leader

LONDON: Members of Britain´s anti-EU UK Independence Party (UKIP) will decide Saturday whether to keep their latest leader following pressure over his private life that he compared to the scrutiny of Princess Diana. Henry Bolton, who was elected in September, has refused to quit despite a vote of no confidence by UKIP´s ruling committee, and party members will now decide his fate. Under the former leadership of Nigel Farage, the anti-immigration party was instrumental in the 2016 vote for Brexit, but has since been dogged by in-fighting, financial woes and falling public support. Bolton, a former army officer, is the third elected leader since Farage stepped down and has vowed major reform of the party.
