Farage Says He’s Unlikely to Stand for His Reform UK Party at Election
- Tells Bloomberg he has ‘role to play’ in the US vote instead
- Still, right-wing populist didn’t rule out trying to become MP
Nigel Farage, the right-wing populist and Brexit campaigner, said he is unlikely to stand as a candidate for his Reform UK party in the general election because he wants to focus on the US presidential vote instead.
“At the moment it’s not my intention,” Farage told Bloomberg in London on Tuesday, when asked about whether he would try again to become a Member of Parliament in the vote expected in the second half of 2024. “We’ve got the American elections, I might have a bit of a role to play there.”
