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.

The leader of Reform UK and Brexit figurehead Nigel Farage launches his campaign for Britain's upcoming general election on July 4 in Clacton-on-Sea, where he will run to be local MP.

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
