The hard-right Reform UK party has predicted that party leader Nigel Farage will the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the next elections.
In the 2024 UK general elections, the Reform UK is set to win up to 13 seats, according to exit polls.
The Reform UK is understood to have considerably eaten into the vote-share of the Conservative Party and harmed its prospects.
In an interview with Sky News, Reform UK’s Deputy Leader David Bull said that it was extraordinary for a four-year-old party to win 13 seats when it’s pitched against the Conservatives and the Labour Party who are over 100-years-old.
When asked when the Reform UK could catch up with the Conservatives, Bull said it would be in power in five years.
Bull said, “We are going to do it in five years. In 2029, you will see Nigel as Prime Minister.”
Bull further said, “A couple of weeks ago, if you would have said we’d get three seats, I’d be ecstatic. To get 13 seats is extraordinary.”
Bull further said that the Conservatives “are destroyed” and that the party “will no more going forward”.

While Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party made gains, the Reform UK also chipped away the party’s vote-share. Exit polls have shown that the Labour is headed to a landslide victory with over 400 of 650 seats and the Conservatives could be reduced to as few as 131 seats.
