Reform UK leader Nigel Farage wins Clacton by-election
Farage won 22,239 votes as Reform UK regained the seat, while a parliamentary watchdog review over an alleged £5 million gift is expected to resume.
- On Friday, Nigel Farage, leader of Reform, regained his seat in Parliament by winning the Clacton by-election with 22,239 votes, defeating Count Binface, who finished second with nearly 9,500 votes.
- Farage triggered the special election by resigning in July amid an investigation into whether he failed to report a £5 million gift from an overseas crypto billionaire.
- Major parties boycotted the campaign, leaving Binface as the default challenger among 34 candidates on the hottest day of the year, with turnout reaching 44%.
- The parliamentary investigation previously suspended is now likely to resume following Farage's re-election. Farage declared victory early Friday morning but did not attend the official declaration.
- While the victory demonstrates strong support in Clacton, a suspended parliamentary investigation could still force Farage from his seat if he is found to have breached rules.
