UKIP's Deputy leader Margot Parker has resigned in protest to Henry Bolton's refusal to step down after a no-confidence vote, telling BBC that he has put the party in a "limbo situation" and calling on him to "go sooner rather than later."
Parker, who is also an East Midlands MEP and will remain being a member of the party, said Bolton's that "personal life took over the job he was elected to do".
"This is taking time away from doing the job," she added.

UKIP leader Henry Bolton has unanimously lost a vote of no confidence amid a scandal surrounding "racist" remarks on social media about Prince Harry's fiance Meghan Markle made by his girlfriend Jo Marney, however, refused to step down.
Nigel Farage, former party's leader, who was one of the main backers of Brexit and has recently called for a second referendum in order to confirm the people's will to leave the EU, has ruled out returning to head the UKIP, telling Mail Online that he would "not for a moment" think about returning.
When asked by Reuters whether he would return to politics, Farage said, "doubt it."
However, Twitter users rushed to the social media network to ask Farage to reconsider his decision.
Some have rushed to condemn Bolton and his (former?) girlfriend, who was seen having dinner together soon after an alleged breakup announced by the UKIP leader.
Many Twitter users have voiced concern over the party's future amid the scandal.

UKIP served its purpose and the great @Nigel_Farage got us the Eu referendum, they should stop this farce and close the party down rather than prolong its road to demise
