UK Prime Minister Fires Conservative Party Chair
Sunak removed Nadhim Zahawi on Sunday, following an investigation into Zahawi’s personal taxes.
The prime minister said in a letter to Zahawi that “it is clear that there has been a serious breach of the Ministerial Code.”
Laurie Magnus, the independent adviser who conducted the investigation into Zahawi’s taxes, said in a letter to Sunak that Zahawi showed "insufficient regard" for the requirement "to be honest, open and an exemplary leader through his own behaviour."
