UKIP leader Nick Tenconi has come under fire after making inflammatory comments about migrants, with critics branding his remarks as "disgraceful" and demanding his immediate resignation.
Tenconi allegedly claimed that migrants were "overwhelming" British communities, a statement that has ignited fierce backlash from political opponents and advocacy groups. Many have accused him of stoking division and spreading misinformation.
Opposition leaders were quick to condemn his words, with one Labour MP describing them as "dangerous rhetoric" that fuels xenophobia. Meanwhile, human rights organisations have called for a public apology, insisting such language has no place in modern political discourse.
Despite the growing pressure, Tenconi has yet to issue a formal statement addressing the controversy. Political analysts suggest this incident could further damage UKIP's already dwindling public support.
The row comes at a sensitive time for the party, which has struggled to regain relevance since the Brexit referendum. With local elections looming, Tenconi's comments may alienate moderate voters and deepen internal divisions within UKIP.
