Rishi Sunak removes Conservative Party Chairman Nadhim Zahawi for failing to disclose tax investigation
LONDON—British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Sunday fired Nadhim Zahawi as chairman of the U.K.’s ruling Conservative Party, after an internal probe concluded Mr. Zahawi failed to disclose an investigation into his tax affairs last year, the latest in a series of controversies to wash over the government.
Mr. Sunak dismissed the former businessman after the government’s ethics adviser concluded on Sunday that not disclosing the tax probe was a serious failure.
