Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, won two Kent council seats, outpolling Conservatives and Labour.

Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, won two recent council by-elections in Kent, securing significant votes and finishing ahead of both the Conservatives and Labour. The party's success, particularly in Swanscombe and Greenhithe where they gained 29% of the vote, marks a challenge to the current government and could signal potential shifts in voter sentiment ahead of the 2025 elections. Anti-racist groups are calling for action to counter Reform UK's rise.
