The Ashfield MP Lee Anderson has been announced as the Conservative Party's new deputy chairman in the Prime Minster's small reshuffle of his top team. Rishi Sunak has been making new appointments to his cabinet after the sacking of the former Conservative Party chairman, Nadhim Zahawi.
Mr Zahawi was recently sacked from his previous role for multiple breaches of the ministerial code after he failed to properly declare details of his tax arrangements. Rishi Sunak has now been carrying out a small cabinet reshuffle to fill Mr Zahawi's post, as well as to make changes to the way in which some Government departments are organised.
The new appointments on Tuesday (February 7) included the promotion of Greg Hands, who is now the Conservative Party chairman. But Mr Sunak also announced that Nottinghamshire's Lee Anderson would be made the Conservative Party's deputy chairman.
