Farage held Clacton with 22,239 votes (63.34%) against Count Binface 9,455 (26.93%), turnout 44% (Guardian). Independent reports 63%, over 1,000 more votes than 2024.
Resolves on the returning officer's official declaration for the Clacton constituency following the 13 August 2026 poll, as recorded by the Electoral Commission (Tier A). YES if Nigel Farage's share of votes cast is above 50.0 per cent; exactly 50.0 per cent resolves NO. If that source has not published in time, The Guardian and The Independent settle it.
Most won their seat back, and both who lost faced a big party. We looked for MPs since 1982 who resigned their seat and stood again in the by-election they caused. We found nineteen.
