UPDATE 2-UK Post office chairman to depart in fallout from Horizon IT scandal
The chairman of the UK Post Office will step down, the government said on Saturday, amid growing frustration over the state-owned company's governance as it reels from a scandal which led to the wrongful conviction of hundreds of sub-postmasters. British business minister Kemi Badenoch and Post Office Chair, Henry Staunton, "agreed to part ways with mutual consent" in a phone call earlier, a government spokesperson said in a statement. Staunton joined the Post Office board in December 2022.
