Nigel Farage, the pro-Brexit campaigner and serial disrupter of British politics, announced plans to run as a candidate in Britain's general election, dealing a new setback to the prospects of the country's embattled prime minister, Rishi Sunak.
Mr. Farage reversed his decision and stated he would take over as leader of Reform UK, the Brexit Party's successor, and run for a seat in Parliament in Clacton-on-Sea.
Analysts believe Reform UK's entry into the election threatens to take votes away from the Conservatives, further complicating Prime Minister Sunak's already challenging position.
