Nigel Farage Resigns Clacton Parliamentary Seat to Force By-election Amid £5m Gift Probe
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage resigned as the member of parliament for Clacton on Tuesday, triggering a by-election that he will immediately contest.
The announcement follows a parliamentary watchdog investigation into a £5m gift from a crypto billionaire received ahead of the 2024 general election. Farage denied wrongdoing, alleging investigators used illegally obtained information, and stated he will fight the seat to secure a fresh public mandate.
