Farage is known for his anti-immigration stances and critical statements towards immigrants, including Albanians in the United Kingdom.
Nigel Farage has announced his resignation as MP for Clacton, triggering a by-election in the constituency, where he has stated that he will stand again.
In a public statement, Farage said he wants " the people of Clacton to be the judges of my actions", describing the upcoming vote as a showdown between "the people and the establishment".
Farage is known for his anti-immigration stances and critical statements towards immigrants, including Albanians in the United Kingdom.
The announcement comes as Farage is under investigation by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards over a £5m gift from businessman Christopher Harborne. Farage has denied any wrongdoing, saying he has done "nothing wrong" and has not broken the law.
He also dismissed reports published by The Sunday Times as "completely incorrect." According to Farage, the donated funds will be used to finance personal security measures, arguing that he has been one of the most physically and verbally attacked politicians in Britain.
According to the rules of the British Parliament, if Farage is re-elected in the by-election, the investigation against him will resume. Therefore, the resignation does not interrupt the investigative process, but gives the politician the opportunity to seek a new mandate directly from the electorate.
Political analysts describe the decision as a politically weighty move, which aims to present the issue as a confrontation between voters and Westminster institutions.
Farage was first elected as MP for Clacton in the 2024 general election, after several previous unsuccessful attempts.
