London, (EFE).- Nigel Farage, leader of the right-wing populist party Reform United Kingdom, announced on Tuesday his resignation as a Member of Parliament to run again in a special election in his district and reaffirm the electorate’s support following several funding scandals.

“I thought about it hard, and I’ve decided today, I will resign as a member of parliament for Clacton-on-Sea, thereby forcing a by-election,” said the 62-year-old politician at a press conference.

“This will be a people versus the establishment by-election. It’s a chance to stick two fingers up to the entire establishment, to frankly tell them where to go,” he added.

Farage said that he will run for re-election, fight to win, and continue the «political revolution” initiated by his party.
