Farage resigned as MP earlier this week amid allegations concerning undisclosed donations. He insists the investigations are politically motivated and maintains that he has done nothing wrong, calling on voters to judge his actions. Expressing solid backing for their leader, Reform UK Gloucestershire stated that every councillor intends to visit Clacton at least once or twice to show their support during the by-election campaign.
