Far-right politician Nigel Farage faces an unusual challenger in this week’s parliamentary election in Clacton-on-Sea: spoof candidate Count Binface, who wears a garbage can on his head.

Farage, the incumbent, is still expected to win despite an investigation into his campaign finances.

Polls suggest Count Binface could receive around 20% of the vote.

His support has been viewed by some as a sign of growing voter dissatisfaction with mainstream political choices, NPR has reported.

The unusual race has drawn attention because of the contrast between Farage’s established political career and Binface’s satirical campaign.
