Earlier in the day, UKIP leader Nigel Farage announced that he was stepping down. He said he had fulfilled his "political ambition" of seeing the United Kingdom leave the European Union in the June 23 referendum.
"It is early days, I haven’t really thought about running for UKIP leader. I’m watching the runners and riders. I need to see who else is standing," Coburn said.
"Unlike the other parties, we won’t have a borders-style backstabbing situation. We will all sit down, have a nice lunch together and try and decide who is the best and put that to the members. We try and be civilized in UKIP, unlike the Conservatives and the Labour Party who think more about themselves than their country," Coburn said.
The Conservatives and Labour have been in turmoil following the UK voters’ decision to leave the bloc. Prime Minister David Cameron announced his resignation a day after the vote, while half of Labour’s shadow cabinet turned on its leader Jeremy Corbyn for allegedly running a lackluster pro-Remain campaign.
