Reform UK leader Nigel Farage returns to Wigan on the Makerfield by-election campaign trail
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has returned to Wigan to support his party’s candidate in the Makerfield by-election.
Rob Kenyon posted photographs on Facebook on Tuesday afternoon which showed the pair visiting residents in the area.
The post said: “Great to have Nigel in Makerfield again. We have all the momentum here.”
It is not the first time Mr Farage has visited the area, as he backs plumber and newly-elected Bryn councillor Mr Kenyon in the June 18 election.
He was also at a press event in Winstanley last month, shortly after the by-election was called, and met candidates standing for a seat on Wigan Council ahead of the local elections.
The by-election candidates are: Jake Austin (Liberal Democrats), Count Binface (Count Binface Party), Andy Burnham (Labour and Co-operative Party), Dan Clarke (Libertarian Party), John Dyer (independent), Ed Gemmell (Climate Party), Paul Gould (independent), Howling Laud Hope (Official Monster Raving Loony Party), Rob Kenyon (Reform UK), Robert Pownall (independent), Rebecca Shepherd (Restore Britain), Sarah Wakefield (Green Party), Peter Ward (Rejoin EU Bring in PR) and Michael Winstanley (Conservative).
