Nigel Farage, leader of the right-wing Reform UK Party, won a seat in the British parliament for the first time on Friday in the seaside English town of Clacton-on-Sea, as voters deserted Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party.

"My plan is to build a mass national movement over the course of the next few years," the 60-year-old Brexit champion said in his victory speech.

Reform UK was predicted to win 13 seats according to the exit poll.
