Reform UK members will be able to force out Nigel Farage under changes to the its constitution, the party's chairman has told GB News.
Farage hosted a secret meeting of 70 local Reform UK organisers in Westminster on Tuesday as he seeks to democratise the fledgling party. Activists travelled from as far afield as Aberdeen for the meeting to and hear about plans for a new nation-wide local party structure.
In an exclusive interview with GB News, Reform UK Chairman Zia Yusuf said he hopes the overhaul will turn the party into a "formidable force in British politics."
Reform UK will have hundreds of local party organisers in place by Christmas.

Speaking to GB News, Yusuf said: "This party is no longer a pressure group. This is a serious party.
"We are going to be a formidable force in British politics. We are going to be durable and we are going to be here to stay.
"We are going to be using modern technology and most importantly, we are going to be hoping to manifest and convert all that energy and support into victory at the ballot box."
He explained Reform plans to give members a bigger say over the running of the party, including the ability to remove the leader of the party if they are deemed unfit.
He said: "We have some of the finest legal minds working around the clock day and night to draft this document.
"Nigel and Richard have been really clear that the document will be a priority after the election and that is what we are working on."
It is currently unclear exactly what the formal process would be for replacing the party's leader.

"Saving the country generally. It's quite a difficult endeavour. It's not going to be easy. It's going to be very tough. But it's absolutely possible."
