He'd resigned as MP for Clacton in response to an investigation.

investigation into his finances.

He received over 22,000 votes, even more than when he first won the seat two years ago.

But all of Reform's main political rivals boycotted the election.

So Mr Farage's main challenger, Count Binface, a comedian dressed as a rubbish bin, and a veteran of polls up and down the UK, including the Makerfield by election won by the now Prime Minister Andy Burnham.

Mr Farage did not attend the count, citing security concerns, but Count Binface did.

Extraordinarily, though, there is now a chance that voters will need to go to the polls again in Clacton in a few months' time.

That's because moments after Mr Farage regained his seat, a paused parliamentary investigation into whether he should have declared a cash gift of six point seven million dollars or five million pounds was restarted.

If he's found to have broken the rules, he could then be suspended from parliament for long enough to trigger, yes, another by election.

Our UK political correspondent Rob Watson told me about this most colourful of by elections.

Because as you say, many had tipped Mr.

Faraz, you know, to to be the next Prime Minister following Andy Burnham.

But his support had taken a bit of a hit.

But can we tell anything by his, you know, electoral success in the last twenty four hours?

Rob Watson.
