Nigel Farage is among the favourites to replace Henry Bolton following Sunday’s vote of no-confidence for the current UKIP leader.

The former leader was back in the limelight recently after he called for a second referendum on EU membership on TV show the Wright Stuff.

Some people have taken that to mean that he is eyeing up a return to the political arena, and he’s well priced at bookmakers Ladbrokes who have him at 4/1 to take the reins at the beleaguered nationalist party.

Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: “Farage might have ruled himself out, for now, but it wouldn’t be the first time he’s said one thing and done another, so it’s not a huge surprise to see punters backing him to replace Bolton.”

Among the other frontrunners Tim Aker looks a popular choice to fill the position.

The Thurrock councillor is Betway’s early fancy at 7/2 to replace Bolton.

Aker today resigned as the party’s Local Government spokesperson, joining a list of rebelling members that includes deputy leader Margot Parker and London spokesperson Peter Whittle.

Betway’s Alan Alger, said: “With a number of the party’s key components resigning it may only be a matter of time before Henry Bolton steps down as UKIP leader.

“The early money has been for Tim Aker to replace Bolton at 7/2, though there is more than one name in the hat with David Kurten, 4/1, and Peter Whittle, 6/1, not too far away.“Somewhat unsurprisingly we’ve taken a fair few bets on Nigel Farage rising to power once again. He was a 20/1 shot to reclaim the UKIP leadership at the start of the year but is now just 7/1.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
