A Bolton Labour councillor has resigned from the party giving ‘no reason’ to her group leader.
The resignation of Coun Shamim Abdullah, who represents Rumworth on Bolton Council, was sensationally revealed during the council’s annual budget debate by Conservative council leader Martyn Cox, who told members ‘Labour has lost another councillor’.
Labour group leader Nick Peel said Coun Abdullah had ‘resigned as a Labour councillor to the Conservative Leader, rather than to me’ and had not given any reason to him for her departure.
