The recently elected leader of the Warwickshire County Council has resigned, from which his 18 -year -old deputy in -charge.

Reform UK councilor Rob Howard, who was in power for 41 days, said he had decided with “a lot of regret”, citing health reasons, behind his departure.

Howard, was elected in May, when reforms made unprecedented profit in local elections, became the largest party in Warwickshire and formed a minority administration.

George Finch, his deputy, to work as an interim leader unless the leader of a new council has been selected, the teenager does not permanently rule for top jobs.

Announcing his departure, the outgoing leader said: “The role of the leader is a very demanding role and regret that my health challenges now prevent me from playing a role to the level and standard I want.

In a statement admitting the news, Finch confirmed that there would be a leadership election in the next week.

He said, “We want to ensure that the election process is appropriate and candidates are competing on a level playground. Let’s see where we are in a week’s time,” he said.

The 18 -year -old said he would ensure that the council is in “stable hands” until then and the party’s mission “remains unchanged”.

Asked if he is interested in becoming a new council leader, he said: “I have not thought it yet. It has been less than 24 hours and we have a lot.

“I am still working as a leader until we make a new choice, the job is still happening and there is a need to do so, so it is the best business until we choose a new leader.”

Labor MP Rachel Taylor for North Warwickshire and Bedworth said Howard’s resignation would be a “real concern” for his components.

“We need a working council to end the crisis in filling the pits, giving our care services and sending education,” he said, “she said.

Taylor said that there were questions about how good the reform administration was doing since the local election.

He greeted Howard and urged the correction councilors to choose a new leader “as soon as possible”, so the authority “Warvikshire can start operating effectively in the interest of residents”.

Talking to the BBC earlier this month, Howard insisted that it was “not frightened” with the challenge of running a local authority with assets of £ 1.5 billion and a revenue budget of about £ 1.5 billion.

Despite resigning from top job with immediate effect, Howard confirmed that he would be as a county councilor.

He said, “I have been honored and played this role, even though it is only for a short time. I am committed to my continuous role working as a county councilor for the benefit of the residents of Warvikshire.”

Reform UK Warvikshire said that the party would not be “distracted” from the resignation and it was “being with the job”.

A spokesman said, “We are already searching how we can implement our pit renewal scheme for county, which introduce a training program to kickstart the career, and rectify the provisions for the children who send a career, to fill the 6,500 pits inherited from the conservatives.”

Councilor of Finch, Bedworth Central, was a member of the Conservative Party for three months before switching to the improvement on the basis that it would be better than illegal immigration.

On the new reformer website, he said that his politics could be expressed as “braxit, sovereignty and a strong and united family unit”.
