UK Local Elections 2026Background
The British Democrats picked Kai Stephens to contest Clacton's 13 August 2026 by-election, giving the party a rare outing on a ballot paper crowded with rivals to Reform UK's right.
A minor right-wing outfit rarely secures a national platform of this size; the party's presence on a 34-name paper alongside Nigel Farage puts its name in front of an audience FAR larger than its usual reach, in a seat Farage previously represented before the by-election was called.
