Farage beats Binface in Clacton by-election

Nigel Farage secured a decisive victory in the Clacton by-election, winning 63% of the vote against a field of 33 candidates, including satirical candidate Count Binface.

The election was widely mocked but drew significant national attention.

Farage claimed vindication, but critics noted the low turnout and described the win as hollow.

The result keeps Farage in Parliament as a Reform UK MP, though he faces ongoing sleaze investigations.
