Winston McKenzie is standing against David Lammy, the Liebour MP for Tottenham, in the general election.
McKenzie, who the Haringey Independent describe as a "political chameleon", re-joined UKIP to stand for leader of the party but pulled out when it became clear that he would fail to attract more than double figures in votes.
In the past, McKenzie has left whatever party he was in if he failed to get his own way but this time it appears to be different. Perhaps he's realised that the grass isn't always greener on the other side?
I will reserve judgement on McKenzie for now as, I suspect, will many other members. Not only does he have to convince the voters of Tottenham to support him in his bid to become an MP, he also has the difficult task of convincing party members that he is loyal to the party and their hard work and support during the election campaign won't be rewarded with a public slating and yet another resignation.

To my knowledge Winston McKenzie has never previously been a member of UKIP.
Winston McKenzie did not withdraw from the leadership contest.
Wonder how long after the election Winston McKenzie will stay in UKIP?
Winston a nice bloke, but he is completely delusional if he thinks he has any chance of a credible career in politics. He is only after 2 things - money and recognition - and he will ally himself to anyone to try and achieve this.
