Farage contests UK by-election amid donation disclosure investigation

Nigel Farage resigned from parliament in July. He now runs in a Clacton by-election against over 30 rivals, including a comedian in a rubbish bin costume. He faces investigation for allegedly failing to declare a £5 million donation.

Why it mattersThe by-election shows whether Farage can win strong local support while facing the donation allegations. A win would help his Reform UK movement.
