Populist politician Nigel Farage has won his first seat in the British parliament as he hopes to shake up the country’s politics with his right-wing Reform UK party.
The notorious Brexiteer has previously tried and failed seven times to become a member of the British Parliament, despite serving as a (pro-Brexit) member of the European Parliament.
The results came amid an unexpectedly strong electoral showing for Britain’s reformist party, the Brexit Party’s hard-line stance on immigration. Exit polls suggested the party could win 13 parliamentary seats – a feat considering it failed to win any seats in the 2019 polls.
