Nigel Farage: Reform UK 'would work with any other Welsh party'

Reform UK 'would work with any other Senedd party' 2 days ago Share Save Ewan Murrie Westminster correspondent, BBC Wales News Share Save PA Media Nigel Farage is leader of Reform UK Nigel Farage has said Reform UK would be willing to work with any other party to form a government in Wales next year. Reform is hoping to win its first Senedd seats at the Welsh Parliament elections in May 2026, with recent polling suggesting support for the party is closely behind Labour, and neck and neck with Plaid Cymru. Farage told BBC Wales that he was open to doing a deal because the Senedd's new voting system will mean "it's not going to be easy" to win an overall majority.

The party leader also refused to be drawn on whether Reform UK would appoint a new Welsh leader prior to the Senedd elections, replying: "Give me time". Meanwhile UK Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has refused to be drawn on whether the Tories would enter a post-electoral pact with Farage's party. Reform failed to win any Senedd members at the last vote in 2021, but came second in 13 Welsh constituencies at the general election last summer.
