British ultra Farage revalidates his seat in Parliament after beating the colourful Count Binface
Reform UK leader, who had resigned over possible corruption investigations, wins election in Clacton-On-Sea. The politician does not attend the result announcement for security reasons, but police deny there was a risk.
Nigel Farage has won the Clacton-On-Sea by-election with 63% of the vote. He had resigned as an MP due to a corruption investigation. Farage's main opponent was Count Binface, who gained over a quarter of the vote. The by-election was boycotted by major parties, making the outcome a foregone conclusion. Farage previously held the seat before resigning.
