Reform sets sights on bagging triple election victory as Nigel Farage's party gears up for debut three seats

Now, three years later, residents in Christleton & Huntingdon (Cheshire), Apsley & Corner Hall (Hertfordshire) and Cippenham Green (Buckinghampshire) will be able to weigh in on the national debate all the way from their local ballot box.

Nationally, Reform continues to secure top favour with voters across the UK. This week, pollsters at YouGov forecast Mr Farage's party was due to receive 25 per cent of national votes at the next General Election.

This figure is a two per cent drop from their previous poll the week before. Both six per cent behind, Labour and the Conservatives are tied on 19 per cent, with Zack Polanski's Green Party on 14 per cent.

The Liberal Democrats are shown to be winning 12 per cent, while both Restore Britain and the SNP are due to scoop up three per cent of votes in the prediction.

At the last round of Local Elections, Reform UK won over huges swathes of the country at the expense of Labour and the Conservatives up and down Britain.

However, this week, the party will be able to show its strength across three wards across Cheshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire.

Christleton & Huntingdon (Cheshire West & Chester)

Currently under Conservative control, the vote for the ward was fairly divided between the political parties when Britons last voted back in 2023.

The Tories took home 24 per cent of the vote, with the Greens trailing two points behind on 22 per cent. Labour won 20 per cent of the vote share, while the Liberal Democrats and Independent candidate were tied on 17 per cent.

The election was called after the death of Conservative councillor Stuart Parker.

The MP for Christleton and Huntington is the Tories' Aphra Brandreth, who represents the Chester South and Eddisbury constituency, who has been out campaigning with her candidate, Stephen Mosley.
