NIGEL FARAGE WINS CLACTON BY-ELECTION | LIVE Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has won the Clacton by-election, regaining his seat in the UK Parliament after triggering the contest himself. Farage secured 22,239 votes — 62.8% of the vote — in an extraordinary election that featured 34 candidates and was boycotted by Britain's major political parties. His closest challenger was satirical candidate Count Binface, the comedian known for appearing in public wearing a giant trash-can costume, who secured 9,455 votes, or 26.7%.
The unusual contest followed Farage's resignation as MP, which he said was intended to seek a fresh mandate from voters amid scrutiny over an undeclared £5 million gift from cryptocurrency billionaire Christopher Harborne. The parliamentary investigation could continue following his re-election. Despite his decisive victory, Farage did not attend the official result declaration and cancelled his planned victory speech, citing a police warning about possible disruption.
Police have indicated security arrangements were robust. The result is being closely watched for what it says about Farage, Reform UK's momentum and Britain's changing political landscape. #WATCH LIVE for the latest Clacton result, Farage's reaction and political fallout. n18oc_live n18oc_world CNN-News18 is your trusted source for breaking news, updates, and in-depth analysis from around the world.
