- Farage received 22,239 votes, compared with 21,225 at the 2024 general election, and declared victory several hours before the count concluded.
- In July, the 62-year-old said he would resign as an MP and contest the seat again while under investigation over an undeclared £5 million gift.
- Farage said Essex Police had warned him of an organised campaign to disrupt the count but provided no evidence; the ABC understands police advised no candidate to stay away.
- The investigation into his finances by the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner will now automatically resume, and Parliament will return from its summer recess on September 1.

- Lee Anderson accuses rival parties of cowardice for not standing candidates against Nigel Farage in the upcoming Clacton by-election.
- Farage resigned as MP to trigger the by-election and seek re-election, a move criticized as a political stunt by other parties.
- A Parliamentary standards investigation into Farage’s financial conduct is paused during the election but may resume if he returns to Parliament.
- Labour, Conservative, and Liberal Democrat leaders denounce the by-election as a sham, while Reform UK claims opponents fear electoral defeat.
It's funny how the other political parties were so desperate to get rid of Nigel Farage and Reform, but now that they have the opportunity to do so, they are running scared. They are terrified of facing the voters. That's because they know they would be obliterated and Reform UK would prove that it still has the overwhelming support of the public. They are cowards.— Lee Anderson, Reform UK MP for Ashfield, commenting after rival parties refused to stand candidates against Nigel Farage in the Clacton by-election.
