London - Arab Today
Diane James quit as head of Britain's UK Independence Party on Tuesday, citing "personal and professional reasons" for stepping down just 18 days after her election as leader.
"It has become clear that I do not have sufficient authority, nor the full support of all my MEP colleagues and party officers to implement changes I believe necessary and upon which I based my campaign," James said in a statement published on her Twitter account.
"For personal and professional reasons, therefore, I will not take the election process further," she added.
