Nigel Farage won the Clacton by-election with 22,239 votes against 34 candidates, while Count Binface placed second with 9,455 votes. The contest featured a 44% turnout, a boycott by major parties, and Farage's absence from the result declaration. Sources confirm the by-election was triggered by his July resignation.
