Parties prepare for possible byelection in Farage’s Clacton seat

The inquiry is examining whether Farage should have declared a £5m gift he received before entering parliament.

If MPs impose a suspension of more than 10 days, voters in Clacton could sign a petition to trigger a byelection.

The inquiry has not announced a decision, and the timing is uncertain.

Parties are preparing in case voters are called to choose an MP again.
