Nigel Farage, a populist Brexiteer, secures his first parliamentary seat in the UK.
Nigel Farage, a populist politician, has secured his first parliamentary seat in the U.K. with his right-wing Reform UK party, aiming to disrupt the nation's politics.
Despite seven unsuccessful attempts to become a member of the British parliament, the infamous Brexiteer ultimately emerged victorious, having previously served as a pro-Brexit member of the European Parliament.
Despite failing to win any seats in the 2019 election, Reform UK, which has a strict stance on immigration, is expected to secure 13 parliamentary seats based on exit polls, following a strong showing in the recent election.
