Nigel Farage faces comedian Count Binface as sole rival in UK by-election

Nigel Farage has declared he will stand in a by-election triggered by his own resignation from the seat, framing voters as his judges amid financial misconduct allegations. The main UK political parties have announced a boycott of the by-election. The only declared rival candidate is Count Binface, a comedian known for wearing a bin-like helmet, who has stood against prominent politicians before.
