Reform UK activist with history of racist and antisemitic posts named as election agent despite suspension

Tuesday, 14 April 2026, 12:20 · 1 min read

Adam Mitula, a Reform UK activist suspended in February over posts that included a racial slur targeting Black people, apparent antisemitic remarks, and apparent agreement with a Holocaust denier, has been listed as election agent for three of the party's candidates in the Tameside area of Greater Manchester ahead of local polls on 7 May. Official election documents show Mitula representing candidates in three wards despite his suspension, which was described as pending investigation. The development adds to a series of controversies surrounding Reform UK figures in recent weeks, including the removal or resignation of candidates in Scotland, Wales, and elsewhere across England.
