Reform UK: Nigel Farage wins by-election against comedian in bin suit
The British right-wing populist was able to win the by-election he triggered. He apparently did not attend the official announcement due to a police warning.
Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, has won a by-election in Clacton, Essex, with 22,239 votes. He beat Count Binface, a joke candidate, who received 9,455 votes. The by-election was called after Farage gave up his parliamentary seat amid controversy over a £5 million gift he did not declare. Farage's return to parliament may lead to a renewed investigation into the gift, which could potentially result in his exclusion from the House of Commons.
