Nigel Farage wins UK by-election seat in Parliament

Nigel Farage won a by-election in Clacton, England, reclaiming his parliamentary seat after resigning a month earlier to trigger the vote. He received 63% of the vote against a field of 34 candidates, with comic candidate Count Binface finishing second after major parties boycotted the election. Despite the victory, Farage continues to face scrutiny over an undeclared £5 million gift from a crypto billionaire donor.
