Nigel Farage will stand for MP of Clacton in the general election.
Despite the former UKIP leader claiming that he would not be running for Prime Minister in the general election, Nigel Farage announced a U-Turn at the start of June, confirming he would be taking over from Richard Tice as the leader of Reform UK.
Though unlikely to win many seats (8/15 to win over 3.5 Seats at BetVictor) Farage has his sights set on 2029 where he hopes to have established his party as the main competitor to the Labour party.
The right-wing politician hopes to start today by establishing a "bridgehead" in parliament as he looks to get a foothold within the House of Commons.
His best chance of doing this according to the odds lies in Clacton where he is the candidate for Reform. Click here to back him to win the seat directly through oddschecker at a guaranteed best price.

Which party are favourites to win the Clacton seat?
Nigel Farage is the strong favourite to win in Clacton at a best price of 1/7 at various bookmakers.
The Reform leader's decision to run there is likely a tactical decision as Clacton was one of only two Westminster parliamentary seats ever to be won in by-elections by UKIP.
The Conservatives are second favourites at a best price of 8/1 at Ladbrokes.
The Conservatives currently hold the seat and won it comfortably in 2019, they are represented by Giles Watling.
