Brexit champion and leader of Reform UK Party Nigel Farage is announced to have won election to the UK parliament, in his eighth attempt, winning a seat for his upstart anti-immigration Reform UK party in Clacton. Farage's party appear to have split the Conservatives' right-wing vote, as exit polls predict a landslide victory for the Labour Party. IMAGES
Nigel Farage says he will stand as a candidate for the anti-immigration Reform UK party at the UK general election next month, after initially ruling out running. "I have changed my mind... I am going to stand," Farage, 60, told a news conference. Farage, a Eurosceptic politician and now a television presenter, campaigned for decades for Britain's withdrawal from the European Union and was a key figure in the 2016 Brexit referendum. He is a former leader of the Brexit Party and the anti-immigration party UKIP. SOUNDBITE

The House of Representatives has voted to refer him to federal prosecutors to make a decision on whether to press charges, although the ensuing legal battle would likely play out over several months, potentially frustrating the probe.
