Having garnered a majority of almost 10,000, Mr. Farage, who has been unsuccessful in his seven prior bids to gain parliamentary representation, will take up the Essex seat of Clacton.
The well-known Brexiteer declared that his new party is “coming for Labour” after winning with 21,225 votes, beating the Conservatives, who received 12,820 votes in second place.
“Congratulations to Nigel Farage on his big WIN of a Parliament Seat Amid Reform UK Election Success,” Trump posted on his Truth Social site. Nigel is a man who genuinely cherishes his nation! DJT.
The former US president, who is vying for the presidency once more this year, did not congratulate Sir Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party, on being named the next prime minister of the United Kingdom.
Mr. Farage and Trump have enjoyed a cordial relationship for a long time; the former leader of UKIP was the first politician from the United Kingdom to see the Republican following his election to the White House in 2016.
Studying Trump’s remarks prior to his election, Mr. Farage said during the UK election campaign last month that Trump “learned quite a lot” from him.
