At a rally at the Norfolk showground on Tuesday night, the party’s chairman David Bull called on members of the public to put their names forward to represent the party on May 7.

Reform has previously pledged that it will stand a candidate in every single ward in both the county council and Norwich City Council elections.

However with the deadline for nominations on April 9, it appears the party has not yet filled all of its positions.

Mr Bull called for people to apply online or at register at a stall the party had set up at the event.

He said: “Now we need your help. This is your chance to be part of our movement and to change British political history. 

“We need people to stand for us at these elections in just over five weeks.

“So if you're up for the challenge, you can apply online via our website.”

All 84 seats on Norfolk County Council are up for grabs, while 14 of the 39 seats on Norwich County Council will also be decided at the ballot box.

Some pollsters are tipping Reform UK to seize control of County Hall at the elections and have also predicted the Tories may lose nearly all their current 51 seats.

While all parties across the political spectrum will officially announce their candidate list at the end of next week, many Reform hopefuls made their first public appearances at Tuesday's rally.

Among them was Robin Hunter-Clarke, the leader of the Reform group at Breckland Council, who defected from the Tories in January last year. 

Two Attleborough Town Councillors, Daniel Burcham and Jacob Allen, also appeared on stage behind Mr Farage.

Also at the event was 24-year-old Jaden Listen, who announced he will be contest the Swaffham ward for Reform at the county council elections. 

"For me as a young man, I see where this county is heading and this is our last chance," he said. 

"We need hope and this is the only party that brings that."

David Bick, who became Reform's first county councillor via a by-election last year, launched an attack on the Tory-led County Hall during the rally.

Following the example of his leader Nigel Farage, who has been involved in a tit-for-tat spat with Conservative leader Kay Mason Billig, Mr Bick compared the county council to the "Soviet Union" and said he "would not be surprised if she was the most unpopular leader in this country".

Mr Bick, who was the Reform candidate for the mayoral elections in Norfolk and Suffolk prior to them being postponed, has been touted as the leader of the Reform Group at the county council after the local elections.

In his speech to the crowd of around 1,000, he said: "My experience on Norfolk County Council has been an eye-opener.

"There is no debate worthy of the name, virtually everything is done by set piece and prepared statements. 

"There is no proper constitutional facility to question the abject answers we are given, it feels like being back in the old Soviet Union.

"We have a council leader who is distinguished by her own arrogance and her own blatant disregard for her own democracy.

"I would not be surprised on a poll if she emerged as the most unpopular council leader in this country.

"The people in Norfolk want no more of this."
