Farage Wins Clacton Amid Donation Probe | Sydney News

Nigel Farage pulls off a stunning comeback in the Clacton by-election, winning with over 22,000 votes — and declaring victory before the official count, despite claims of an impending disruption campaign. His win comes as a major investigation into a £5 million undeclared donation resumes, reigniting scrutiny over his financial disclosures. Farage, who resigned his seat earlier this year to recontest amid controversy, insists the gift was personal and for security — received before his election. The race itself was a circus: 33 candidates, including satirical contender Count Binface, while major parties stayed away. Election officials confirmed no disruptions occurred, and the probe will resume after Parliament’s summer break — setting the stage for a defining moment for Farage and Reform UK.
