Nigel Farage gana la elección parcial de Clacton, Count Binface alcanza el 27 %

Nigel Farage recuperó el escaño parlamentario de Clacton el 6 de agosto, obteniendo alrededor del 63 % de los votos y superando al candidato satírico Count Binface, que alcanzó aproximadamente el 27 %; según la BBC, el comisionado de normas parlamentarias reabrió la investigación sobre la donación no declarada de £5 millones tras la victoria. Farage provocó la elección al renunciar a su escaño a principios de agosto, lo que dio lugar a una contienda con 34 candidatos, entre ellos Count Binface, interpretado por Jon Harvey.

El recuento de votos comenzó en el centro de ocio local después de que las urnas cerraran a las BST. Anteriormente, la presidenta del Partido Conservador, Kemi Badenoch, afirmó que los conservadores presentarían un candidato si se reanudaba la investigación, mientras que Reform UK criticó la ausencia de candidatos del partido.
