The chairman of the Ulster Unionist Party has confirmed that Sir Reg Empey is to resign as party leader.

Sir Reg EmpeyDavid Campbell said he had received “formal communication” from Sir Reg and that a meeting to elect a new leader would be held on 22 September.

Nominations for those wishing to be leader must be submitted by 31 August.

Mr Campbell said Sir Reg’s time as leader had seen “reform and modernisation” of the party.
