Farage failed in his previous attempts to become a Member of Parliament in the British Parliament. However, he already sat for the Brexit Party Ukip, the precursor party of Reform UK, in the EU Parliament in Brussels.

According to by-election polls, Reform UK is expected to win 13 seats in the House of Commons. This would mean a significant improvement over the predictions in the surveys. Furthermore, the Labour Party is reportedly the big winner in the by-elections, indicating a landslide victory. The Conservative Tories of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, on the other hand, allegedly suffered their worst defeat since the beginning of the 20th century and were accordingly clearly rejected by the voters.

Brexit advocates lauded Nigel Farage's success in leading the Brexit Party Ukip to a seat in the EU Parliament, a position he held before its transformation into Reform UK. Despite the previous failure of Farage to gain a seat in the British Parliament, Brexit Party Ukip's successor, Reform UK, is anticipated to secure 13 seats in the House of Commons, according to by-election polls.
