Nigel Farage’s electoral history includes winning seats as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for South East England (1999 onward) and later winning a UK House of Commons seat as the leader of Reform UK in Clacton (2024).[1][3]
House of Commons (UK general elections & by-elections)
- 2024 general election — Clacton — Reform UK — elected (21,225 votes; 46.2%; majority overturned a Conservative seat).[3][1]

“Latest news” angle (what’s been in the news recently)
Recent coverage connected to Farage’s electoral impact has included claims and analysis around whether Reform (and Farage) could form a larger parliamentary position under alternative polling/forecast scenarios.[2][4]
If you tell me what you mean by “electoral history” (e.g., only results/percentages, or news since the 2024 election, or both UK elections and EU elections), I can narrow this to the exact format you want.
