Nigel Farage Opts Out of July General Election, Backs Reform Party

Nigel Farage, the honorary president of the right-wing Reform Party and a prominent Brexit campaigner, announced he will not run in the upcoming July general election. Farage expressed his intention to support the Reform Party's campaign, citing a lack of inspiring choices between Labour and the Conservatives.

Britain's Nigel Farage, a leading Brexit campaigner and the honorary president of the right wing Reform Party, said on Thursday that he would not stand in the July general election.

"I will do my bit to help in the campaign (for Reform), but it is not the right time for me to go any further than that," Farage said in a statement on X.

"The choice between Labour and the Conservatives is uninspiring, and only Reform have the radical agenda that is needed to end decline in this country."
